MACS - Agharkar Research Institute Project Assistant Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for graduates in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Life Science, or any discipline who possess a strong interest in scientific research, particularly in plant breeding and wheat crop management. Candidates with a minimum of 3 years of experience in relevant field and laboratory work, who are comfortable with temporary, project-based assignments within a central government-affiliated research institution, will find this a valuable opportunity.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position or those without specific experience in agricultural research, especially wheat crop studies, may find this temporary, single-vacancy role less fitting. The desirable experience requirement means candidates without the stipulated 3 years of experience in wheat crop research might face a competitive disadvantage during the shortlisting process.

MACS - Agharkar Research Institute, an autonomous body under the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, offers a reputable environment for scientific research. While this Project Assistant position is temporary and project-specific, it provides excellent hands-on experience within a prestigious research institute, enhancing career prospects in agricultural science and plant breeding research. It serves as a valuable stepping stone for further academic or research roles.
