Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani Research Assistant Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates in any Social Science discipline with a strong academic background (minimum 55% marks) and a NET/M.Phil/Ph.D. qualification. Individuals interested in gaining hands-on experience in field work, data collection, analysis, and report writing for a crucial research project on family culture and intergenerational mobility will find this opportunity highly suitable. Furthermore, those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. at BITS Pilani may be permitted to register for the program concurrently.

Candidates who do not possess a Postgraduate degree in a Social Science discipline, lack the essential NET/M.Phil/Ph.D. qualification, or are seeking a permanent employment position should not apply, as this is a purely contractual role for a 20-month project duration. Those uninterested in research-intensive field work, data analysis, and contributing to project reports will also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Research Assistant at BITS Pilani, a highly regarded educational and research institution, on an ICSSR-sponsored project offers significant academic exposure and greatly enhances a research profile. The potential opportunity to register for a Ph.D. program concurrently adds substantial long-term career growth potential in academia and research. While the role is contractual, it provides invaluable experience and networking within a renowned research environment, contributing to a project of national relevance.
