Project Coordinator & Field Investigator

This opportunity is ideal for individuals holding a Master's degree (or a Bachelor's for Field Investigator) in Management, Rural Development, or Social Sciences. Candidates with relevant experience in enterprise promotion, startup incubation, livelihood programmes, community-based development work, or field research will find these roles highly suitable. Fresh postgraduates demonstrating capability for fieldwork may also apply for the Field Investigator position. This is well-suited for those seeking a contractual, project-based role for one year, offering exposure to development initiatives in Meghalaya.

Candidates primarily seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should be aware that these are contractual positions for a limited one-year project. Individuals not comfortable with a consolidated salary structure or the prospect of extensive fieldwork (especially for the Field Investigator role) should reconsider applying. Those unwilling to be posted and work within the state of Meghalaya would also find this unsuitable.

These roles offer valuable experience within a Section 8 Company associated with the prestigious Indian Institute of Management Shillong (IIMSFIE). The project, implemented in collaboration with the Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society (MSRLS) and supported by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), provides significant exposure to government-backed rural development initiatives. While contractual, the experience gained can be a strong asset for future careers in the development sector, project management, or non-profit organizations, leveraging the IIM Shillong brand.
