Research Associate

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified individuals holding a Ph.D or a Master's degree (with a strong Bachelor's foundation) in Agro Meteorology, Agronomy, or Agriculture Physics. Candidates must possess at least three years of research experience, a publication record in SCI/NAAS rated journals, and demonstrated knowledge in meteorological data processing, agricultural modeling, and computer applications. Preference will be given to those with ICAR accredited degrees. This position is perfect for researchers seeking focused, project-based work within a prestigious agricultural university.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term tenure should not apply, as this is a temporary and contractual position for 11 months. Candidates lacking the specified Ph.D or Master's degree with adequate research experience and publications will not be considered. Those unable to attend a walk-in interview on the specified date will also be unable to apply.

Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) is a well-regarded state agricultural university, offering a strong academic and research environment. While the position itself is contractual and project-specific (Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa Scheme), it provides valuable specialized research experience, exposure to government-funded projects (IMD, Government of India), and networking opportunities within the agricultural research domain. The prestige of working with a state agricultural university enhances a researcher's profile, though the short-term nature limits long-term growth within this specific role.
