Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Social Science or related fields seeking project-based research experience within a central government institution. Candidates interested in social research concerning vulnerable populations, specifically children of imprisoned parents, will find this project particularly relevant. It suits individuals comfortable with a walk-in interview process and short-term contractual engagements.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment, roles with a high number of vacancies, or long-term career positions should not apply. Candidates who do not possess a postgraduate degree in Social Science or a relevant discipline, or those who exceed the age of 40 as on the interview date, are also not suitable.

NFSU, being an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Home Affairs, offers valuable exposure to significant research projects. While these roles are contractual and of short duration (4-11 months), they provide excellent opportunities for professional growth and profile enhancement in social science research, especially within the government sector. The project focuses on a socially impactful area, adding qualitative value to the experience.
