NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY RAIPUR Recruitment 2026: 04 Temporary Research Assistant & Field Investigator Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated post-graduates in social science disciplines, especially those with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications and prior experience in research, primary surveys, and data analysis. Candidates must possess a strong willingness to travel extensively for fieldwork across various Indian states and have working knowledge of Hindi and regional languages like those spoken in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Maharashtra. It suits individuals seeking temporary, project-based research experience within a Central Government institution.

Individuals not possessing a postgraduate degree in social science with the requisite minimum marks, or lacking NET/M.Phil./Ph.D., should not apply. Those unwilling or unable to travel extensively for fieldwork, or without prior research experience, may find this role unsuitable. This is a temporary, consolidated pay position, not a permanent government employment.

Working with the National Institute of Technology Raipur, an Institute of National Importance, on an ICSSR-funded project offers significant academic prestige and exposure to a pan-India research study. While the positions are temporary and project-specific, they provide valuable experience for a career in social science research, potentially opening doors for future academic or research roles in reputable institutions.
