Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding an MA in History with a minimum of 55% marks, coupled with essential proficiency in reading and writing Bengali. It suits early-career researchers interested in a specific project titled 'Indigenous Education and Women: Women's Pathshalas in Varanasi from the 18th Century to the Present'. Candidates seeking project-based contractual research experience within a prestigious academic institution will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates who do not possess an MA in History with the required percentage, lack proficiency in the Bengali language, or are not comfortable with a contract-based research position should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of specific historical research would find this position unsuitable.

Working as a Research Associate at IIT (BHU), an Institute of National Importance, on a project funded by the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), offers significant academic prestige and valuable research experience. It provides an excellent platform for networking within the historical research community and contributing to a scholarly project, enhancing future academic or research career prospects.
