Young Professional II

This role is ideally suited for postgraduate candidates with a degree in Genetics, Plant Breeding, Biotechnology, Plant Pathology, or allied Life Sciences who are seeking project-based research experience within a prestigious government agricultural institute. Candidates with prior field/lab experimentation, disease screening, molecular techniques, data analysis, documentation, and report compilation experience will be highly preferred. It's suitable for individuals looking for a temporary, contractual engagement to gain valuable experience in agricultural research.

This position is not suitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment, as it is purely contractual and offers no claim for regular appointment, absorption, or continuation post-project completion. Candidates who do not possess a postgraduate degree in the specified disciplines or are unwilling to work on a fixed-term, project-specific basis should not apply. Those expecting benefits like HRA will find this role unsuitable as it's a fixed emolument position.

ICAR-IARI is a highly reputed institution in agricultural research in India, offering significant exposure to cutting-edge research and methodologies. While the position itself is contractual and temporary (one year or till project completion), it provides an excellent opportunity to work on a relevant national mission (NMHYS - Maize Component) project. This experience can be highly beneficial for future career prospects in research, academia, or related fields, despite the lack of long-term institutional stability directly within ICAR-IARI for this specific role.
