Jamia Millia Islamia Recruitment 2026: 3 Vacancies for Research Associate, Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for dedicated researchers holding postgraduate degrees in social science, especially those with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications and proven experience in research (minimum 2 years for Research Associate). Candidates possessing expertise in Persian and Arabic manuscript reading, historical research methods, and archival practices, and who are open to temporary, project-based work with travel requirements for data collection, will find these positions highly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are fixed-tenure, temporary positions co-terminus with the project. Those lacking the specified postgraduate qualifications, NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. (where applicable), or the crucial language skills (Persian/Arabic manuscript interpretation) will not meet the eligibility criteria. The limited number of vacancies (3 posts) also makes it highly competitive.

Working on an ICSSR-sponsored project at Jamia Millia Islamia, a respected Central University, offers a valuable academic credential and hands-on research experience, particularly for those focusing on historical and cultural studies. While the positions are temporary, they provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to a significant research initiative and enhance one's research profile within a prestigious academic setting.
