Additionally, there is one position for either an SRF or Project Associate-II in a DBT-funded project aimed at characterizing chickpea germplasm to enhance genomics-assisted crop improvement.

The screening process will involve reviewing the applications, and selected candidates will receive details about the interview, including the date and time, via email.
