Young Professional & Gallery Explainer

This role is ideal for recent postgraduate degree holders (MA/M.Sc in Museology, Linguistics, or Anthropology) with a strong passion for science communication and cultural heritage. Candidates with excellent communication skills in English and Hindi, and preferably Bengali, coupled with computer proficiency, will thrive. It suits individuals looking for a temporary, full-time engagement with the opportunity to contribute to visitor engagement and educational program development within a prominent cultural institution.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a purely contractual role for a limited period (initially one year, extendable). Those without the specified postgraduate qualifications or who are unable to relocate to Kolkata will not be suitable. Candidates expecting extensive benefits or allowances beyond the consolidated remuneration will find this role unsuitable.

The National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), operating under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, offers a reputable platform to gain valuable experience in museum operations and public engagement. While it's a contractual position, working with a national-level institution can significantly enhance one's resume and open doors to future opportunities in the cultural and educational sectors. It offers a chance to contribute to a significant public service initiative.
