Field Investigator

This role is ideal for postgraduate candidates in any social science discipline with a minimum of 55% marks who are seeking temporary, project-based research experience. Candidates should be willing to undertake field visits in Odisha and contribute to a longitudinal study on handloom clusters. It's a valuable opportunity for those looking to gain practical research exposure under an ICSSR-funded project at a reputable university.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or higher remuneration should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and contractual position for a fixed duration of three months with a set salary. Candidates unwilling to engage in field visits or lacking the specified postgraduate qualification will not be suitable.

This engagement offers a good opportunity to work on a significant ICSSR Special Call project, enhancing a candidate's research profile. Utkal University is a NAAC A+ accredited institution, lending credibility to the experience gained. While the role is short-term (three months), it provides valuable exposure to collaborative research in social sciences, potentially opening doors for future academic or research positions. There is no long-term growth within this specific contractual role, but it serves as a strong resume builder for a research career.
