IISER Pune Recruitment 2026: Walk-in for 2 Project Archivist & Digital Technician Posts

These roles are ideal for dedicated professionals with a Master's degree in Architecture, History, or Archaeology (for Project Archivist) or a Bachelor's degree in Photography/Multimedia (for Digital Technician). Candidates should possess a strong commitment to archival preservation and digitization, coupled with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience for the Project Archivist role. A background in academic or research institution environments would be highly beneficial for contributing to a project focused on colonial construction records.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should note that these are purely temporary and contractual positions, with no claim for appointment or absorption into IISER Pune or the funding agency. Those without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory experience for the Archivist role, or expecting TA/DA for the interview, should not apply. The limited tenure of 6 months, extendable based on project continuity, might not suit those looking for long-term stability.

Working with IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a significant research project. While the positions are temporary and project-based, they provide valuable experience in archival management and digital preservation within a premier scientific research environment. This experience can enhance career prospects in academic or research sectors focused on humanities and digital archiving, despite the short-term nature of the engagement.
