Research Assistant & Field Researcher

This role is most suitable for individuals holding a postgraduate degree in any Social Science discipline who are keen on contributing to an international research project. Ideal candidates will possess strong qualitative research skills, with specific experience in ethnographic research methods, psychological research analysis, or field-based data collection. Strong academic writing and analytical abilities are also highly valued.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary, project-based positions co-terminus with the CRIMLIFE project. Applicants without a postgraduate degree in a relevant Social Science discipline or those unable to meet the specific experience requirements for research or field work would not be suitable. Limited opportunities for long-term career progression within this specific project.

Kannur University, a state university, offers a valuable opportunity to work on an ERC-funded international research project (CRIMLIFE) in collaboration with Mahatma Gandhi University. This provides excellent exposure to global research methodologies and a strong academic environment, which can be highly beneficial for individuals aspiring to build a career in academia, research, or higher studies. While the roles are temporary, the experience gained from a prestigious international project can significantly enhance one's professional profile.
