Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates (M.Sc./M.Tech) in Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Plant Biochemistry, Life Sciences, or Food Science who are seeking a temporary, project-based research opportunity. Candidates with a strong academic background and a keen interest in food biochemistry, particularly related to fermented soybean products, will find this position suitable. While NET/GATE is not mandatory, relevant research experience in the mentioned areas is desirable.

Candidates looking for a permanent government position or those who do not meet the essential postgraduate qualifications should not apply. Individuals primarily interested in a non-research-oriented role or unwilling to work on a temporary contractual basis for a 3-year project duration will find this unsuitable. Those above 35 years of age (general category) also fall outside the specified age limit.

ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is a prestigious national institution for agricultural research, offering a valuable platform for early-career researchers. While this is a temporary project-based fellowship, it provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in agricultural biochemistry, enhancing one's profile for future academic or research roles. It's a strong stepping stone within a reputable organization.
