Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This opportunity is ideal for postgraduates in Social Science disciplines who possess a strong academic record (at least 55% marks). Candidates with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. and prior research or field survey experience, coupled with knowledge of research methodology and computer applications, will find themselves highly suitable. It's an excellent chance for individuals seeking short-term, project-based engagement to gain valuable experience in a central university setting.

Individuals looking for permanent government employment or roles with long-term career progression within the same project should not apply, as these positions are purely temporary and co-terminus with the project duration (9-12 months). Candidates without a Postgraduate degree in Social Science or those unwilling to work on a project-specific basis may also find this role unsuitable.

The University of Delhi is a highly reputed central university in India, and working on an ICSSR-sponsored project offers significant academic prestige and exposure. While the roles are temporary, they provide valuable experience in research and fieldwork, which can be a strong foundation for future academic or research careers. The consolidated fellowship amounts are standard for project-based roles, offering a decent stipend for the duration of the engagement.
