JRF – Plant Nutrient Transport and Stress Adaptation
Host Institute: Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi
Project Title: “Mechanisms of Nutrient Transport and Stress Resilience in Wheat”
Funding Agency: ICAR
Position: 1 JRF
Fellowship: ₹31,000/mo + HRA (as per ICAR norms)
Duration: 3 years
Project Description
The project seeks to elucidate molecular pathways controlling nutrient transport and stress adaptation in wheat. The JRF will perform gene expression analysis, physiological assays, and functional validation to link transporter activity with stress tolerance.
Methods
- qRT-PCR and gene expression assays
- Nutrient profiling
- Stress physiology assays
Eligibility
- MSc in Plant Physiology/Plant Biotechnology/Botany or related field
- Minimum 60% aggregate
Application
Email CV, cover letter, and certificates to principal.investigator@iari.res.in
Deadline: 15 February 2026
