Centre for Climate Change & Sustainability Studies TISS Mumbai Recruitment 2026: 6 Vacancies for Program & Research Coordinators

This role is ideal for Master's degree holders in Social Sciences or Law with a strong background in forest rights, policy, and community engagement. Candidates with practical rural field experience and proficiency in Marathi, especially for the Research/District Field Coordinator role, are highly preferred. It suits individuals seeking short-term, impactful project work within a prestigious academic institution.

Applicants without a Master's degree in the specified disciplines or those lacking knowledge of forest laws and community engagement will not be suitable. Individuals who cannot conduct fieldwork in rural areas or do not possess Marathi language skills (speaking and writing) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find these contractual, project-based roles unsuitable.

Working with the Centre for Climate Change & Sustainability Studies at TISS offers significant prestige and a unique opportunity to contribute to critical social science research and policy. While these are one-year contractual positions, the experience gained in a niche and impactful field under the TISS banner can be invaluable for future career progression in NGOs, research organizations, or government advisory roles related to environment and social justice.
