Research Associate, Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a postgraduate degree in Social Science or a related field, particularly those with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. and relevant research experience. Ideal applicants are looking for temporary, project-based work focused on human rights and sanitation in Tamil Nadu, and are comfortable with the specified remuneration and job duration.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as these are temporary project positions. Candidates without the minimum postgraduate qualification or those unable to attend the walk-in interview on the specified date will also find this unsuitable. The absence of TA/DA for the interview might be a dealbreaker for applicants traveling from distant locations.

The University of Madras is a reputable state university. These project-based roles offer valuable research experience under a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) funded project, which can significantly enhance an academic or research profile. While the roles are temporary, they provide excellent exposure to critical social issues and a prestigious research environment.
