Field Investigator

This role is ideal for post-graduate candidates in social science disciplines (with a minimum of 55% marks) who possess a keen research interest in Gender and Energy Economics. Candidates should have strong command of MS Office, excellent English and Hindi communication skills, and a willingness to travel for fieldwork in rural and semi-urban areas. It's particularly suitable for early-career researchers seeking temporary project experience at a prestigious national institute.

Individuals looking for a permanent government position or a high-salaried role should not apply, as this is a temporary project-based position with consolidated emoluments. Those without the specified postgraduate qualification in social sciences, or who are unwilling to undertake fieldwork and travel, will also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Field Investigator at IIT Dharwad, an Institute of National Importance, offers a valuable opportunity to gain practical research experience on an ICSSR-funded project. While the tenure is short (3-6 months), it provides significant exposure to academic research and collaboration within a reputable institution, enhancing a candidate's profile for future academic or research-oriented careers.
