Positions of Senior Research Fellow & Project Fellow-I
Post I
Name of the Position: Senior Research Fellow
No. of Posts: 01
Name of the Project: High resolution QTL mapping for iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), grain
protein, and phytate content and their introgression in high yielding wheat cultivars
Principal Investigator: Dr Joy K. Roy, Scientist-F
