Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Research Officer Recruitment 2026 for 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for postgraduate candidates in Social Sciences or related fields who possess strong research, analytical, and writing skills, particularly those with experience in literature review, qualitative analysis, or case study documentation. Individuals who have published papers and are seeking a short-term, part-time engagement in an academic research environment will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates looking for a permanent or full-time position should not apply, as this is a 6-month contractual, part-time role. Those without a postgraduate qualification in the specified disciplines or lacking foundational research and analytical skills will also find this role challenging.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a well-regarded institution known for its contributions to social sciences and development studies. While this specific role is a short-term, part-time contract, it offers valuable exposure and experience within a prestigious academic setting. It can be a good stepping stone for early-career researchers, though long-term career growth directly from this position is limited due to its temporary nature.
