MAHARSHI DAYANAND UNIVERSITY Rohtak 2026 Recruitment: Research Assistant & Field Investigator (2 Vacancies)

This role is ideal for recent postgraduate or Ph.D. holders in social science disciplines who are looking for short-term, project-based research experience. Candidates should have a strong academic record (minimum 55% in PG) and, for the Research Assistant post, possess NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualification. Those eager to contribute to a research project on intergenerational ties in Haryana would find this opportunity highly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are purely contractual and co-terminate with the project (12 months maximum tenure). The honorarium is fixed, and there are no provisions for TA/DA for interviews, which might be a dealbreaker for candidates requiring travel support. The low number of vacancies (2 total) also suggests high competition.

Maharshi Dayanand University is an 'A+' Grade State University, offering a reputable academic environment. While the positions are contractual and project-specific, they provide valuable experience in academic research within a recognized institution. This can serve as a stepping stone for further research careers or academic pursuits, especially for those interested in social science studies related to Haryana.
