Young Professional I

This role is ideal for fresh graduates or early-career professionals holding a B.Sc. in Agriculture, Botany, Forestry, or Life Sciences who are eager to gain practical experience in agricultural research, including field surveys, laboratory analysis, and report preparation. Candidates must be willing to work on a temporary, project-specific contractual basis and should possess strong technical and communication skills, with an ability to work in Kalimpong.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project, offering no claim for regular appointment. Those unwilling to engage in extensive fieldwork or who do not meet the essential Bachelor's degree qualification should also refrain from applying. The role requires willingness to work in Kalimpong, West Bengal, which might be a dealbreaker for candidates restricted by location.

Working with the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, a premier agricultural research body, offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant projects and gain exposure to national-level research methodologies. While the position itself is contractual and temporary with limited long-term scope for absorption, it provides excellent foundational experience and networking opportunities crucial for a career in agricultural science and research.
