Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with an M.Sc. (Ag.) or Post Graduate degree in basic sciences, specialized in fields like Plant Breeding, Biotechnology, or Genetics. Essential requirements include a NET qualification and a minimum of two years of research experience in agriculture. Candidates with a PhD are strongly preferred. This position is suitable for those seeking valuable, project-based research experience within a prestigious national agricultural institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based position. Those without the specified postgraduate qualifications, NET qualification (if applicable), or relevant research experience will not be considered. Candidates unwilling to commit to a co-terminus role with the project's duration will find this unsuitable.

ICAR - Central Rice Research Institute (now National Rice Research Institute) is a premier institution under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), a central government body. A Senior Research Fellow position here offers significant prestige and opportunity for professional growth in agricultural research. While temporary, the experience gained will be highly valuable for future academic and research careers within India's extensive agricultural scientific community.
