BCKV Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: Overview
Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) is recruiting a Project Associate-I for a temporary agricultural drought research project. The study combines optical and microwave satellite imagery to assess drought at sub-district level. It is supported by IIRS/ISRO, and most of your work will be at RRSC-East, Kolkata, rather than at the university's Mohanpur address.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project tenure: The engagement lasts six months or until the project actually ends, whichever comes earlier. You should plan for this limited term when considering the role.
- Working place: The notice specifically places the majority of the work at RRSC-East in Kolkata. The university's address for the investigator is separate from this main working place.
- Project identity: The assignment belongs to the agricultural drought assessment project, code 11082. This reference distinguishes the opening from other research engagements advertised by BCKV.
- Project contact: Dr. Lalu Das, Professor and Dean in the Department of Agricultural Meteorology and Physics, Faculty of Agriculture, is the principal investigator named in the notice.
Application Submission Notes
Your plain-paper application must reach the principal investigator either in person or by post. Address it to Dr. Lalu Das, Department of Agricultural Meteorology and Physics, Faculty of Agriculture, BCKV, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal 741252; this is the investigator's address given in the notification.
The notice provides a bio-data format for the application rather than an online application portal. Use that format for your personal, academic and contact information so the project team receives the requested details together.
For correspondence, the investigator's listed contact details are daslalu.bckv@gmail.com and 9836207664. The stated submission routes remain in-person delivery and post; the contact email is not presented as an application submission route.
