SDAU JRF Entomology Recruitment 2026

SDAU JRF Entomology Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University (SDAU) is hiring Junior Research Fellows (JRFs) for project work in the Department of Entomology at C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat. The research studies a cotton crop treatment against whitefly and jassids, including its effects on the crop and natural enemies in the cotton ecosystem. Your engagement is tied to these temporary research projects, with the department and project leadership directing the work.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project scope: The notice names separate evaluations of XDE120 120 g/L SC against whitefly and jassids. Both examine bio-efficacy, possible damage to cotton plants and effects on natural enemies, so the work concerns the wider cotton ecosystem as well as the target pest.
• Shared research setting: Both projects sit within the Department of Entomology at C. P. College of Agriculture. The notice describes the same fellowship role for the projects and does not assign a separate job title to each pest study.
• Project period: The project table lists the research years as 2026-27 and 2027-28. These are project periods, while your appointment follows the shorter tenure condition stated separately in the notice.
• Appointment tenure: The engagement lasts for 11 months or until the project finishes, whichever happens first. The appointment ends automatically when the project is completed.
• Employment after the project: SDAU has no obligation to offer you another job once the project period ends. You should treat this as a project appointment with a defined end condition.
• Performance and conduct: The university can end the engagement early, without advance notice, if your work is unsatisfactory or there is misconduct. This condition applies even during the original appointment period.
• Reporting arrangement: Alongside project work, you will work under the directions of the Principal Investigator and the Professor and Head of the Department of Entomology. The notice places the fellowship within this departmental supervision arrangement.
• Travel: You attend the walk-in at your own expense. Keep the venue in mind when planning your journey to Sardarkrushinagar.
