Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for academics with postgraduate degrees in Social Science, particularly those holding NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications, who are seeking short-term research engagement. Candidates should be flexible with fieldwork and possess a genuine passion for contributing to significant research on Indian families.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term stability should not apply, as these positions are purely temporary and contractual. Candidates unwilling to travel for fieldwork or who do not possess the specified postgraduate qualifications (especially in Social Science) will not be considered. The absence of TA/DA for interview attendance might also be a limiting factor for some applicants.

Working on an ICSSR-funded project at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi offers valuable exposure to national research initiatives supported by the Ministry of Education. Although the positions are temporary, they provide significant academic experience and opportunities for networking within research circles, which can substantially enhance future academic or research career prospects.
