IHE Delhi Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (2 Posts)

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding a Master's degree in Development Communication & Extension, Resource Management, or Extension Education, who possess demonstrable research experience in related fields. Individuals passionate about contributing to projects focused on climatic hazards, women's livelihoods, and economic empowerment, particularly within a time-bound research framework, will find this opportunity suitable. The position offers a fixed monthly remuneration along with HRA, making it attractive for early to mid-career researchers looking for project-based engagements.

Candidates without a Master's degree in the specified disciplines or lacking relevant research experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term career progression within a single organization may find the two-year contractual nature of this research fellowship a dealbreaker. The absence of TA/DA for interviews also implies candidates should be prepared for their own travel expenses.

The Institute of Home Economics, affiliated with the prestigious University of Delhi, offers a reputable academic environment. This project, funded by MoEFCC-UNDP, GOI, indicates a connection to significant national and international development goals, enhancing the resume of successful applicants. While a contractual research fellowship, it provides valuable experience in a socially relevant and well-funded project, potentially opening doors to further research or development roles in academic, NGO, or government sectors.
