Senior Project Scientist

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals with a strong academic background in social sciences (Sociology, Social Anthropology, Gender Studies, Political Science). The ideal candidate will possess a First Class Master's degree and at least three years of experience in qualitative research, coupled with demonstrated writing skills. A keen interest in gender equality, inclusion, higher education, and STEM/Engineering education is highly valued. Proficiency in qualitative data analysis software (like Nvivo, QDA Miner) and research management tools (Zotero) is a significant advantage. This position is perfect for those seeking a challenging, project-based research role at a premier institution.

Candidates who lack a First Class Master's degree in the specified social science disciplines or do not have the mandatory three years of qualitative research experience should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent government position will find this contractual, project-based role unsuitable. Those without proficiency in research methodologies, qualitative data analysis software, or a strong interest in the project's specific focus areas (gender, STEM, education) may also find this role challenging.

Working as a Senior Project Scientist at IIT Delhi, a renowned institution, offers excellent prestige and an opportunity to contribute to a significant research project. While it is a contractual role, it provides valuable experience in cutting-edge research, collaborative work within a prestigious academic environment, and a platform for professional growth in the realm of social impact and STEM innovation. The experience gained can significantly enhance one's research profile and open doors for future academic or research positions, particularly within project-based or academic settings.
