Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for individuals holding a Master's degree (with at least 55% marks) in relevant agricultural or life science disciplines (Microbiology, Biotechnology, Seed Science, Agriculture, Botany, Plant Physiology) who have also qualified ICAR/CSIR/UGC-NET or an equivalent national-level JRF eligibility test. Candidates passionate about research, comfortable with project-based contractual work, and possessing desirable skills in biofertilizer/microbial handling, chromatographic techniques, data analysis, and a publication record will find this role highly suitable.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or those who do not meet the essential educational qualifications (Master's degree with 55% marks AND NET/JRF qualification) should not apply. Individuals requiring extensive leave benefits or unwilling to work on a temporary, project-bound basis will find this position unsuitable.

ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is a premier national institution, offering an excellent platform for agricultural research. A Junior Research Fellow position here, even contractual, provides invaluable exposure, strengthens research skills, and builds a strong foundation for future academic or research careers in a highly reputed environment.
