Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) 2026: Research Assistant Recruitment - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for candidates holding a Master's degree in History or Archaeology, particularly those with a strong academic background demonstrated by clearing NET/SLET/SET or possessing a PhD. Individuals passionate about archaeological research, especially concerning ancient caves in the Gaya-Rajgir-Jehanabad region, will find this position engaging. Proficiency in English writing, computer skills, and a foundational understanding of field archaeology, art, and architecture are beneficial.

Candidates who do not possess a Master's degree in the specified fields, or those who have not cleared the mandatory NET/SLET/SET examination (or do not hold a PhD), should not apply. This position is contractual for one year, making it unsuitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment.

Working as a Research Assistant at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, a Central University, offers a reputable academic environment. The project, funded by the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), provides valuable research experience and exposure to significant archaeological studies. While a one-year contractual role, it serves as an excellent stepping stone for future academic, research, or higher education pursuits, particularly for those looking to build their research portfolio.
