IIT Kharagpur Research Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) is recruiting a Research Associate (RA) for a time-bound project in the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology. The study explores microbial solutions for sustainable and regenerative agriculture, with a focus on improving nitrogen and phosphorous flux. Cropcoin Technologies Private Limited sponsors the project.

The official recruitment listing names Pinaki Sar as the principal investigator. The project reference is C/SNPF, which helps you distinguish this assignment from the institute’s other Research Associate notices. The advertised position belongs to this Bioscience and Biotechnology project at Kharagpur.

The research context is microbial approaches to agriculture: the study connects microorganisms with the movement of nitrogen and phosphorous. It sits within the broader aim of sustainable and regenerative agriculture described in the project title. This context is useful when you decide whether the assignment matches the research area you want to work in.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Initial term: Your appointment begins with one year from the date you join. The notice ties the assignment to the research project.
  • Extension: Continuation depends on performance, with a stated maximum of up to four years. The appointment ends sooner if the project terminates first.
  • Interview calls: Meeting the minimum requirements does not by itself guarantee that the institute will call you for an interview.
