ICRISAT seeks applications from dynamic and motivated Indian Nationals for the position of Senior Research Fellow – Agronomy to support field implementation, modelling, and validation for the Monsoon Mission-III project. The position will play a central role in integrating field observations, crop-weather models, and location-specific data to co-create dynamic crop calendars, scenario-based advisories, and decision-support content. The role also includes metadata curation, spatial data analysis, and input to AI-based advisory engines. This role is critical to advancing the organization’s mission of improving agricultural productivity and sustainability in semi-arid regions across Asia and sub-Saharan Africa through advanced remote sensing applications in agriculture. The position is based in Patancheru, Hyderabad, Telangana.
ICRISAT is a non-profit, non-political organization that conducts agricultural research for development in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with a wide array of partners throughout the world. Covering 6.5 million square kilometers of land in 55 countries, the semi- arid or dryland tropics has over 2 billion people and 644 million of these are the poorest of the poor. ICRISAT and its partners help empower these disadvantaged populations to overcome poverty, hunger and a degraded environment through better agricultural production systems.
ICRISAT is headquartered at Patancheru near Hyderabad, India, with two regional hubs and eight country offices in sub-Saharan Africa.

ICRISAT conducts research on its mandate crops of chickpea, pigeonpea, groundnut, sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet in the arid and semi-arid tropics. The Institute focuses its work on the drylands and in protecting the environment. Tropical dryland areas are usually seen as resource-poor and perennially beset by shocks such as drought, thereby trapping dryland communities in poverty and hunger and making them dependent on external aid.
