GBPUAT Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT), Pantnagar, has released a notice from the Department of Entomology for a Research Fellow under project code 2563. The project is titled Evaluation of XDE 377 100 SC for bio-efficacy against lepidopteran insect pests, phytotoxic effects on tomato, and impact on natural enemies in the tomato ecosystem. This is a short-term research opportunity for candidates who can support tomato pest field trials and related entomology work.

The project work is field-oriented, so the selected fellow should be comfortable with crop observation, pest incidence recording, treatment comparison, and trial documentation. The project title specifically mentions lepidopteran pests, phytotoxic effects, and natural enemies, which means the work is not only lab paperwork. You should be ready to assist with tomato field visits, note visible plant response, and keep clean records for the Principal Investigator.

The Principal Investigator named in the notice is Dr. Ravi Mohan Srivastava. The engagement is for 6 months, and it may be extended as per requirement. Since the notice says no separate interview letter will be issued, you should treat the published interview date and time as the final call schedule.

Because this is a single Research Fellow post, small mistakes in the application can matter. Check that your degree name, subject, experience details, and research paper information match the documents you attach. If you have field trial experience in Entomology, crop protection, tomato pest work, or pesticide bio-efficacy, mention it clearly in the application form.

• Project Fit: The work is connected with lepidopteran insect pests, phytotoxic effects on tomato, and natural enemies in the tomato ecosystem.
• Documents: Keep proof of your degree, testimonials, field trial experience, and research papers ready because copies must be enclosed and originals must be shown at interview.

Salary

• Monthly fellowship amount: Rs. 20,000 per month.
• Duration: 6 months initially.
• Extension: The engagement may be extended as per project requirement.
• TA/DA: No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview.

Keep in mind that this fellowship is not a permanent teaching post. It is tied to project code 2563, and the notified duration is 6 months. The salary is fixed, so plan accordingly if you need travel or stay near Pantnagar for the 18 May 2026 interview.
