Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding a Master's degree in Genetics, Plant Breeding, or Biotechnology, particularly those with a strong academic record, including a 4 or 5-year Bachelor's degree. Candidates with a 3-year Bachelor's degree must have a valid NET qualification or a Ph.D. in related fields. Individuals with a keen interest in agricultural research, particularly in Brassica, hybrid, and molecular breeding, or biotechnology, and possessing computer proficiency, will find this a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant ICAR-funded projects.

Candidates lacking the specified Master's degree or its equivalent, without a valid NET qualification (if applicable), or a Ph.D. in the relevant disciplines should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment should note that this is a purely temporary, contractual position co-terminus with the project, with no claim to regular appointment. Individuals unwilling to attend a walk-in interview with all original documents for verification will also be excluded.

Working as an SRF at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute offers a prestigious opportunity to engage in cutting-edge agricultural research under the national ICAR network. While the position is temporary and project-specific, it provides excellent exposure and experience in a leading research institution, enhancing one's profile for future academic or research careers in India and abroad. It's a stepping stone for young researchers passionate about agricultural science.
