Shyama Prasad Mukherji College (For Women) Recruitment 2026: 2 Research Assistant Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified post-graduates in social sciences or public health who have cleared NET or hold M.Phil./Ph.D. degrees, and are looking for a short-term, project-based research opportunity. Candidates should be available for an immediate walk-in interview and comfortable with a temporary appointment co-terminus with the project's 24-month duration. It suits those interested in contributing to research on 'Understanding the Ageing Population in India'.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a temporary project-based role with a fixed remuneration and no provisions for TA-DA for the interview. Those without the specified post-graduate qualifications (with 55% minimum) and NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. are ineligible. The limited number of vacancies (2) and specific research focus might not appeal to a broad audience.

Working on an ICSSR-funded project at Shyama Prasad Mukherji College, a constituent college of the prestigious University of Delhi, offers significant academic exposure and research experience. While the role is temporary, it provides valuable experience in social science research, enhancing one's profile for future academic or research positions. The institutional reputation of the University of Delhi lends credibility to the experience gained.
