Research Assistant

This role is ideal for dedicated postgraduate scholars with a strong academic record in Social Sciences, especially those with qualifications like NET, M.Phil., or Ph.D. Candidates possessing a background in Indian philosophy, Sanskrit, or religious studies, combined with excellent academic writing and research skills, will find this position particularly suitable. It offers a focused opportunity to contribute to a significant research project on Indian family systems and cultural diplomacy.

Individuals without a postgraduate degree in Social Sciences or the requisite NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualification should not apply. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of academic research, especially within specific project tenures, may find this contractual fellowship unsuitable due to its defined duration and research-specific focus. Applicants over 35 years of age are also not eligible.

Working as a Research Assistant at a prestigious institution like IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, particularly on a project funded by ICSSR, offers significant academic prestige and valuable research experience. While it is a contractual position for a specific project duration (one year), it provides an excellent stepping stone for further academic or research careers, enhancing one's profile within the social sciences and humanities research landscape. The experience can open doors to Ph.D. opportunities, post-doctoral fellowships, or research positions in similar institutions.
