Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a Ph.D. in Agricultural Microbiology or a Master's degree in a relevant subject coupled with significant research/teaching experience (minimum 3 years) and a strong publication record (SCI/NAAS rated journal). Candidates with strong computer skills and proficiency in Telugu, seeking a temporary, contract-based research position in agricultural microbiology, would find this opportunity suitable. Those with specific experience in biofertilizer production are highly desired.

Candidates without the specified Ph.D. or Master's degree qualifications, lacking the mandatory experience (if applying with a Master's), or without a research publication (for Master's degree holders) should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent government position or those unwilling to work on a contract for 11 months will find this role unsuitable. The limited number of vacancies (01) also implies a highly competitive selection process.

Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University is a reputable state agricultural university. While this particular position is temporary and contract-based, working at its Agricultural Research Station can offer valuable experience in specialized research areas like bacterial inoculants. It provides an opportunity to contribute to a specific scheme and gain institutional exposure, which can be beneficial for future academic or research careers, especially within the agricultural sector.
