Research Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated Master's degree holders in Anthropology, Sociology, or Cultural Studies, particularly those with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications. Candidates should possess a strong background in ethnographic field research, data collection/analysis, academic writing, and proficiency in Hindi/Mundari languages. This is a full-time, project-based engagement for 11 months, suitable for individuals seeking research experience in environmental conservation and social studies.

Candidates who do not meet the minimum educational qualification (Master's degree with 55%) or lack the desirable research and language skills should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent position or long-term engagement will find this 11-month contractual role unsuitable. Those unwilling to engage in extensive fieldwork and data collection will also find this role challenging.

Working as a Research Assistant at IIT Hyderabad, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic prestige and a valuable opportunity to contribute to a funded project by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). While the position is contractual, it provides excellent exposure to high-level research and networking opportunities, which can be highly beneficial for future academic or research careers. The consolidated remuneration is competitive for a project-based role.
