Jesus and Mary College Recruitment 2026: Apply for 03 Research Assistant & Field Investigator Posts

This opportunity is ideal for recent Postgraduates in Sociology (minimum 55% marks) looking to gain valuable experience in an ICSSR-funded research project. Candidates with MPhil, PhD, or NET qualifications, especially those with desirable specializations in areas like kinship, health, or addiction studies, are particularly well-suited. The roles are project-based and offer short-term engagement, making them suitable for individuals seeking to build their research portfolio and gain practical field experience within a prestigious academic environment.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or long-term career stability will find these roles unsuitable due to their contractual and time-bound nature (18-20 months for Research Assistant, 6 months for Field Investigators). Those requiring substantial remuneration or HRA should note that HRA is not applicable, and the monthly emoluments are fixed. Candidates unwilling to apply online via the specified Google Form or unable to meet the postgraduate qualification in Sociology should not apply.

Working with Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, on an ICSSR-funded project offers significant academic prestige and a valuable addition to one's research profile. While the roles are temporary, they provide excellent exposure to research methodologies, data collection, and report writing under experienced faculty. This experience can be a strong stepping stone for further academic pursuits (e.g., PhD, post-doctoral research) or entry into research-oriented organizations, despite the short tenure.
