Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Recruitment 2026: 1 Social Work Fellow (Male) Vacancy

This role is ideal for male candidates holding a Master's in Social Work (MSW) who possess a strong interest in criminal justice and social rehabilitation. Fluency in Hindi and English is mandatory, with a preference for Marathi speakers. Candidates should be willing to travel across districts and states, and those with prior experience in social work within the criminal justice field will be preferred.

Female candidates are ineligible for this position due to the nature of work within a male prison. Applicants without an MSW degree or those who are not comfortable with extensive field work and travel should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position should also note that this is a temporary, contractual role.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a highly reputed Deemed University, making this a prestigious opportunity within the social sciences sector. The Prayas project, under the Centre for Criminology and Justice, offers specialized experience in a critical area of social work. While the position is contractual and for a limited duration, it provides invaluable hands-on experience and networking opportunities that can significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future roles in public service, NGOs, or academic research related to criminal justice and rehabilitation.
