Field Investigator

This role is ideal for social science graduates (especially those with a four-year program or postgraduate degrees in Sociology, English, or related fields) who are proficient in MS Word and Excel, and willing to work in Jharkhand. Candidates with proficiency in Hindi and a keen interest in field-based research and data collection will be particularly well-suited. It offers an excellent opportunity for freshers to gain research experience within a prestigious institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual, project-based position with a tenure of 24 months. Candidates unwilling to work in Jharkhand or lacking a foundational degree in a social science discipline will not meet the essential criteria.

Working as a Field Investigator on an ICSSR-sponsored project at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad offers significant academic and research exposure. While temporary, the experience gained in field research, data collection, and working with a renowned institution provides strong credentials for future academic, research, or development sector roles, enhancing one's professional portfolio.
