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 its Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology. The project explores microbial solutions for sustainable and regenerative agriculture, with a focus on improving nitrogen and phosphorous flux. You would join a project led by Prof. Pinaki Sar at Kharagpur.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project appointment: This engagement belongs to the institute's sponsored research programme. Your appointment is tied to the named agriculture research project, so the project terms matter when you consider the role.
- Tenure: The appointment lasts for 12 months or until the project ends, whichever comes first. The project ending earlier would therefore also bring the stated tenure to an end.
- Sponsor: Cropcoin Technologies Private Limited supports the project. The sponsor's address is in Bihar Sharif, Nalanda, Bihar; the recruiting department and assignment are at IIT Kharagpur.
- Research context: The project connects microbial research with sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Its named focus is nitrogen and phosphorous flux, which distinguishes this opening from other Research Associate notices issued by the institute.
- Notice identification: This assignment appears under project code C/SNPF and advertisement IIT/SRIC/C/SNPF/2026/102. Use that reference when checking that you are reading the notice for this particular role.
