Research Associate

This role is ideal for dedicated research professionals holding a PhD or Master's degree in Economics, Agricultural Economics, or Statistics. Candidates with at least 3 years of experience in research, statistical data analysis, or business development, and who are seeking a temporary, project-based engagement with a reputable central government research institution, will find this opportunity suitable. The position particularly appeals to those who meet the specific age criteria and are prepared for an interview-based selection process.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified higher educational qualifications (PhD or Master's with Bachelor's and experience) in the relevant fields, or lacking the mandatory work experience, will not be eligible. Applicants exceeding the maximum age limits for men (40 years) or women (45 years) should also refrain from applying.

ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute is a highly esteemed central government institution, providing a prestigious environment for agricultural research. While the Research Associate position is temporary and project-specific, it offers valuable hands-on experience and networking opportunities within a renowned research ecosystem. The role, however, has limited long-term career progression within this specific contract, as it is co-terminus with the project duration (up to March 31, 2027). It serves as an excellent stepping stone for further research or academic roles.
