Research Analyst

This role is ideal for PhD holders or those with a submitted PhD in Population Studies, Economics, Biostatistics, or Statistics, who also possess a Master's degree in related fields. Candidates with demonstrable experience in demography, public health research, administration, project coordination, and proficiency in statistical software like R and Stata, along with excellent English writing skills, will be highly suitable. It's a contract-based research position, best for individuals seeking short-term, impactful project work.

Candidates without a PhD (awarded or submitted) or a Master's degree in the specified disciplines, or lacking experience in research and statistical software, should not apply. Those seeking permanent employment or a role with extensive career progression immediately might find the initial 6-month contract duration a dealbreaker. Individuals uncomfortable with a consolidated salary structure will also find this unsuitable.

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) is a Deemed University, offering a prestigious academic environment. While this is a contractual research position, it provides valuable experience working on a significant project titled 'Bridging the Life Expectancy Gap of Sanitation Workers in India'. This can enhance a researcher's profile and open doors for future academic or research roles in public health and demography, albeit not offering long-term internal growth directly within this contract.
