IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Field Investigator Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for recent postgraduates in Social Sciences, especially Psychology, who possess strong research skills, proficiency in MS Word and Excel, and a keen willingness to undertake extensive fieldwork across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Candidates must be self-motivated and adept at data collection in designated field locations.

Individuals seeking a permanent or office-based position should not apply, as this is a contractual, project-based role requiring significant travel and fieldwork for a duration of 12 months. Those unwilling to work in South India or lacking a postgraduate degree in a relevant social science discipline with at least 55% marks will not meet the essential criteria.

Working with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a prestigious institution under the Ministry of Education, offers valuable experience for those looking to build a career in social research. Although a contractual project position, it provides an excellent platform for exposure to significant research projects, contributing to a strong academic and research profile for future opportunities.
