Senior Research Officer

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a Ph.D. or M.Phil. in Demography, Population Studies, or related Social Sciences. Candidates with an M.Phil. degree must also possess at least one year of experience in demographic or health-related research. Preference will be given to those with experience in qualitative research and handling secondary data like Census, NSSO, and NFHS.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is an ad-hoc, contract-based appointment for a duration of three months (though likely extendable). Candidates without the specified postgraduate qualifications and relevant research experience will not be considered. Those unable to attend the walk-in interview in Mumbai on the specified date will also be ineligible.

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) is a prestigious 'Deemed to be University' known for its significant contributions to population studies in India. While this is a project-based contract, it offers a valuable opportunity to work on a relevant research project and gain experience within a respected academic institution, which can enhance future career prospects in research or public health sectors.
