Administrative Officer & Administrative Assistant

This opportunity is ideal for seasoned administrative professionals and recent graduates with strong computer skills aiming for a career in an academic research environment. Candidates with a Master's degree and at least three years of supervisory experience in government or academic institutions are well-suited for the Administrative Officer role, while graduates with two years of clerical experience and proficiency in MS Office are a good fit for the Administrative Assistant position. Strong English communication and typing skills are essential for both roles.

Individuals seeking a high volume of vacancies or immediate, high-level leadership positions might find this opportunity limited due to the low vacancy count (2 posts). Those without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory administrative/computer experience should not apply. The 'desirable' age limit for Administrative Officer should be noted by older candidates, though it's not a strict bar.

Working at the Madras School of Economics, an Institution of Special Importance, offers a stable career path within a respected academic and research institution. While the individual roles may not inherently offer rapid career progression within a large hierarchy, the environment provides valuable experience in a prestigious educational setting with competitive benefits and the potential for additional increments based on merit. This is a solid foundation for those committed to academic administration.
