ICAR CRRI Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

ICAR-Central Rice Research Institute (ICAR-CRRI) is recruiting a Young Professional-I and a Field Operator for project EAP-486 at Cuttack, Odisha. The project studies the use of phosphogypsum as a source of several nutrients to improve soil fertility and crop productivity in rice-based cropping systems. These project engagements connect research activities with practical agricultural work, with each role contributing to the same study.

Posts and Disciplines

• Young Professional-I: This role supports the research side of the phosphogypsum project, including field and pot-based activities and work on the resulting data. The notice also connects the role with presenting and documenting the project’s findings.
• Field Operator: This role provides agricultural field and laboratory support for the same project. Its focus is practical work that supports the project activities at ICAR-CRRI.

Post-wise Duties

Young Professional-I

You will help carry out field and pot experiments and collect the data generated by project activities. Your work also includes analysing results, preparing presentations, documenting findings and handling official work connected with the project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The project engagement lasts until 31 March 2027 or project completion, whichever comes first. Your appointment remains tied to the project.

• Regular appointment: These temporary engagements give you no right to a regular job in ICAR-CRRI or the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
