Research Officer & Admin cum Accounts Officer

These project-based roles at TISS are ideal for experienced professionals with specific academic backgrounds in Social Work, Women's Studies, Development Studies, Commerce, Finance, or Business Administration. Candidates must possess relevant field experience, particularly within Maharashtra, and demonstrate strong communication skills in both Marathi and English. The Research Officer role suits those with a keen interest in gender studies, data analysis, and report writing, while the Administrative-cum-Accounts Officer role is for individuals proficient in ERP systems and financial management within the social sector.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without the specified academic qualifications and direct, relevant work experience (especially field experience in Maharashtra for Research Officer or ERP experience for Admin-cum-Accounts Officer) should not apply. Those unwilling to travel extensively within Maharashtra will also find these roles unsuitable.

Working with TISS on a government-supported project offers valuable experience and contributes to impactful social research and policy development. While the roles are contractual (5-8 months), they provide an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to a prestigious institution and contribute to significant work in gender mainstreaming and development, enhancing one's professional portfolio in the social sector.
