University of Delhi 2026 Recruitment: 3 Project Vacancies for Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for postgraduates, M.Phil, or Ph.D. holders in social sciences who possess strong research coordination, fieldwork, analytical, and writing skills. Candidates must be willing to travel extensively in rural Himachal Pradesh for field data collection and supervision. The positions are particularly suited for those looking to gain valuable project-based research experience within a prestigious academic setting.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are contractual positions with an initial duration of one year. Applicants without the specified postgraduate qualifications in social sciences or those unwilling to undertake significant fieldwork and travel in remote areas of Himachal Pradesh will find these roles unsuitable.

Working with the Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, offers significant academic exposure and contributes to an ICSSR-funded research project. While the positions are temporary, they provide a strong foundation for future academic or research careers, particularly for those interested in climate change, sustainable development, and social science fieldwork in challenging terrains.
