Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani 2026 Recruitment: 2 Field Assistants Positions

This role is most suitable for postgraduate candidates in Humanities or Social Sciences who have achieved at least 55% marks. Ideal applicants will possess strong fluency in Konkani, Marathi (spoken), and English (written and spoken). Those with prior research experience, particularly within social science projects or studies related to tribal communities, are highly encouraged to apply. The position is perfect for individuals seeking short-term (2-3 months) project-based work in Goa, who are comfortable with fieldwork and value contributing to government-funded research.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or long-term career progression should not consider this role, as it is a short-duration (2-3 months) contractual position. Candidates who do not meet the essential educational qualification (Master's degree in specified disciplines with 55% marks) or lack proficiency in Konkani and Marathi will not be eligible. Those expecting a higher salary or uncomfortable with fieldwork requirements may find this opportunity unsuitable.

While a short-term contractual role, this position offers a valuable opportunity to associate with the prestigious Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani. Working on a project funded by the Tribal Research Institute (TRI), Government of Goa, provides exposure to government-backed social science research, enhancing a candidate's academic and research profile. This experience can be a strong asset for future academic pursuits or project-based roles, offering a chance to contribute to socially impactful studies.
