Research Associate & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Library and Information Science with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. and research experience, or graduates in Social Science looking for temporary project-based work. Candidates seeking to contribute to research on AI competency and ethical guidelines within academic and research communities, particularly in Tamil Nadu, would find this opportunity suitable. It offers valuable experience for those aiming to build their research profile.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are strictly temporary. Those without the specified postgraduate or graduate qualifications (including 55% marks) or the required research experience for the Research Associate role will not be eligible. Candidates requiring TA/DA for interview travel will also find this unsuitable, as no such allowance is provided.

Alagappa University is a highly-rated State University, offering a reputable platform for academic research. While the positions are temporary and project-based (funded by ICSSR), they provide an excellent opportunity to work on a relevant and impactful project in Artificial Intelligence ethics. This can significantly enhance one's research portfolio and career prospects in academia or research, though it does not offer long-term job security within the university.
