PAU SRF Plant Breeding Recruitment 2026

PAU Senior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview

Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) is recruiting a Senior Research Fellow for the Rice Section of its Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics in Ludhiana. The fellowship belongs to a research scheme on using rice landrace diversity in varietal development through genomic predictions. It is a scheme-linked engagement, with its continuation tied to the research project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Research setting: The scheme focuses on using rice gene-bank collections at a large scale for varietal development. If you join, your fellowship will sit within this specific rice-research programme at PAU.
• Scheme reference: The notice identifies the work as CSS-67 (PC-6329). Use this reference to distinguish this opening from other fellowships advertised by the same department.
• Tenure: The engagement lasts for six months or until the scheme ends, whichever happens first. The stated duration therefore depends on the scheme remaining active.
• Travel costs: PAU will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. You will need to make your own arrangements for reaching the campus.
• Interview communication: The department will not send a separate interview message. The published notice itself gives you the arrangements for attending.
