Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Ph.D. or Master's degree in Food Engineering, Agricultural Process Engineering, or related disciplines, coupled with significant research experience. Candidates seeking a temporary, project-based research opportunity in Post Harvest Engineering & Technology will find this suitable. The consolidated pay offers a competitive remuneration package for the short-term engagement.

Those looking for a permanent position or extensive career growth within a single institution may find the 'temporary' and '11 months or earlier' tenure a dealbreaker. Candidates without the specified academic qualifications (Ph.D./M.Tech./M.E./P.G. with specific bachelor's background) or the required minimum of 3 years of research experience (for Master's holders) should not apply.

Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University is a reputable state agricultural university, offering a good platform for research exposure. While the role is temporary and project-specific, it provides an opportunity to contribute to significant work in Post Harvest Engineering & Technology under the AICRP. This can enhance a researcher's profile and provide valuable experience for future academic or research roles, despite the limited long-term internal growth prospects for this specific temporary post.
