Project Research Scientist I

This role is ideally suited for individuals with a Post Graduate Degree in Psychology, particularly those with a PhD, who possess a strong background in research and data analysis. Candidates with experience in mental health initiatives, team management, and academic writing, along with proficiency in statistical software, will be highly preferred. The position requires a willingness to travel within Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai, and is best for those seeking a short-term, project-based engagement in a research environment.

Individuals seeking a permanent or long-term career opportunity should not apply, as this is a 7-month contractual position. Those who lack a Post Graduate Degree in Psychology or relevant research experience, especially in quantitative and qualitative analysis, will find themselves at a disadvantage. Candidates unwilling to travel for job responsibilities or those looking for a role without a significant research component should also reconsider.

Working with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a renowned institution with a long history in social sciences, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's research portfolio. While this specific role is contractual and project-based, it provides excellent exposure to real-world research projects and networking opportunities within a respected academic environment. It is an ideal stepping stone for academic and research professionals, although it does not inherently offer long-term growth within this specific role.
