Maharaja Agrasen College, University of Delhi 2026 Recruitment: Research Assistant & Field Investigator (3 Vacancies)

This opportunity is ideal for recent post-graduates and graduates in Social Science with strong academic records (minimum 55% marks) who are seeking to gain valuable short-term research experience. Candidates with prior research or data collection experience, proficiency in data analysis tools (like SPSS/Excel), and strong report writing skills are highly preferred. Individuals with a Ph.D. or NET/M.Phil qualification, especially in Finance for the Research Assistant role, or familiarity with Himachal Pradesh for the Field Investigator role, will find this particularly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are strictly short-term, contractual project-based roles. Those without the specified educational qualifications in Social Sciences or a minimum of 55% marks will not be considered. Candidates unwilling to work on a temporary basis for a defined project duration, or who lack any prior research-related exposure, may find themselves at a disadvantage.

Working on an ICSSR Minor Research Project at Maharaja Agrasen College, a constituent college of the prestigious University of Delhi, offers significant academic and research credibility. While the roles are contractual, they provide an excellent stepping stone for a career in academia, social research, or development. This experience can enhance a candidate's profile for future Ph.D. admissions, research grants, or positions in research organizations, offering strong networking opportunities within a reputable institutional framework.
