Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Data Officer Recruitment 2026 | 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Social Sciences, Social Work, Population Studies, or Public Health with 2-3 years of dedicated experience in HIV/AIDS research. Candidates should possess strong quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis skills, be conversant in local languages and English, and have a proven track record in reporting and documentation. A commitment to working with sensitive communities is essential.

Individuals lacking specific research experience in the HIV/AIDS sector or those seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a short-term, contractual project position. Candidates uncomfortable with extensive fieldwork, data collection, and travel across different states will find this role unsuitable.

Working with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) on a project associated with the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to critical public health initiatives. While a contractual role for 6 months (extendable), it provides significant exposure to national-level programmatic evaluations and research in a respected academic and social research institution. This experience can enhance a candidate's profile for future roles in public health research and development.
