Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates in Entomology, Agricultural Entomology, Zoology, or related life sciences, who have qualified NET/GATE or equivalent national examinations. Candidates with a keen interest and desirable experience in insect taxonomy, collection, molecular techniques, and scientific writing, looking for project-specific research exposure in a prestigious agricultural institution, would be well-suited.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contractual position co-terminus with the project. Candidates lacking the essential postgraduate qualification and NET/GATE clearance (or equivalent national exam selection) will not be considered. Those who are unable to commit to a fixed-term research role with no claims for regular appointment should also avoid applying.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI), a premier national institution, offers significant academic and research prestige. This temporary position provides valuable hands-on experience in a specialized research project on leafhopper taxonomy, enhancing the candidate's scientific profile and opening doors for future research or doctoral studies in entomology and related fields. While not a permanent role, it offers excellent exposure within a reputable scientific environment.
