Young Professional II

This role is ideal for recent Post-Graduate or Master's degree holders in Agricultural Science, particularly those specialized in Vegetable Science, Horticulture, Genetics, or Plant Breeding. Candidates with practical field experience in germplasm characterization, evaluation, and phenotyping of cucurbitaceous/vegetable crops, combined with strong computer and statistical analysis skills, will find this position highly suitable. It's a contractual, project-based role best for those seeking initial research experience in a prestigious agricultural institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-specific contractual position with no claim for regular appointments. Candidates without a relevant Post Graduate or Agricultural Science degree will not be considered. Those looking for a role with a high number of vacancies or immediate long-term stability may find this less appealing due to its single vacancy and temporary nature.

Working at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), a premier national institution for agricultural research, offers significant prestige and a strong foundation for a career in agricultural science. While the position itself is temporary and project-specific, it provides valuable exposure to cutting-edge research in vegetable science, enhancing a candidate's profile for future research or academic roles in India or abroad. It's an excellent stepping stone for career development in plant breeding and genetics.
