Young Professional I

This role is ideal for fresh graduates or early-career professionals holding a B.Sc. in Agriculture, Environmental Science, or Botany who are seeking an entry-level position in agricultural research. Candidates eager to gain practical experience in soil, plant, and water analysis within a project-based, temporary setup will find this suitable. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to a transformative climate action project and work in a prestigious ICAR institute.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contract-based role co-terminus with the project duration (up to March 2027). Those looking for positions with higher remuneration or specific age-related relaxations beyond government norms may also find this unsuitable, particularly if they do not meet the essential B.Sc. qualification or age criteria (21-45 years).

Working at the ICAR-Central Rice Research Institute offers significant institutional prestige within the agricultural research domain. While the position itself is temporary (Young Professional-I), it provides valuable exposure and experience in a leading national institute, enhancing future career prospects in research, academia, or related sectors. The project's focus on climate-resilient agriculture also adds relevance and impact to the work.
