NIT Durgapur Recruitment 2026: 3 Vacancies for Field Investigators & Research Assistant

This role is ideal for Postgraduates in Social Science, particularly those with a minimum of 55% marks. Candidates aspiring for the Research Assistant position should also possess NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. This opportunity is well-suited for individuals comfortable with extensive fieldwork in Ranchi (Jharkhand) and who possess knowledge of the local language. It's perfect for those seeking temporary, project-based research experience within a prestigious academic institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those unwilling to commit to a temporary, contract-based project should not apply. Candidates who are not comfortable with fieldwork in Ranchi or who do not meet the specified postgraduate qualifications in social sciences will find this role unsuitable.

Working with NIT Durgapur, an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Education, offers significant prestige and valuable research experience, especially through an ICSSR-funded project. Although temporary, this role provides a strong foundation for future careers in social science research or academia, involving impactful work on a relevant social issue.
