Senior Research Fellow & Young Professional I

This opportunity is ideal for motivated individuals holding Master's degrees in Genetics, Plant Breeding, Biotechnology, or a Graduation/Diploma in Agricultural/Life Sciences. Candidates seeking project-based, contractual research roles at a prestigious national institute will find this suitable. Those with desirable experience in molecular breeding, computer applications, or related field work will have an advantage. It's a good fit for individuals who prefer a direct walk-in interview process and are prepared to submit comprehensive documentation on the day.

This role is not suitable for candidates seeking permanent government employment or those who require a high number of vacancies. Individuals without the specified essential educational qualifications (Master's for SRF, Graduation/Diploma for YP-I) should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a temporary, contractual basis co-terminus with the project should look for other opportunities. The lack of TA/DA for the interview might also be a dealbreaker for some.

The ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is a highly reputed national institute, recognized for its significant contributions to agricultural research in India. While these positions are contractual and project-bound, they offer valuable research experience and exposure to cutting-edge work within a prestigious academic environment, particularly in genetics and plant breeding. This can be a strong stepping stone for further academic or research careers, enhancing one's profile within the agricultural and scientific community.
