Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This opportunity is ideal for Post Graduates in Social Science (Psychology only) with a minimum of 55% marks. Aspiring Research Assistants should also possess NET/M.Phil/Ph.D qualifications. Candidates with a strong desire for field work in rural/tribal areas, excellent communication skills, and a willingness to travel extensively will find these roles highly suitable. It offers valuable experience in a specific ICSSR-funded research project.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are purely contractual and temporary. Those uncomfortable with extensive field travel or residing in remote locations will find this role challenging. Candidates without a Post Graduate degree in Psychology/Social Science or lacking the specific NET/M.Phil/Ph.D qualification for the Research Assistant role are not eligible.

Working with Rajiv Gandhi University, a reputable educational institution, on an ICSSR-funded project provides a solid foundation for a career in research. While the roles are contractual, they offer specialized experience in a focused area (mental health in Arunachal Pradesh), which can significantly enhance a researcher's profile. These positions contribute to academic research and offer a chance to work on a socially relevant project.
