Research Assistant

This role is ideal for dedicated postgraduate degree holders in social sciences who possess NET, M.Phil., or Ph.D. qualifications. Candidates seeking short-term research engagement (6 months) within an academic setting, particularly those interested in indigenous knowledge and tribal communities, will find this opportunity suitable. It offers a chance to contribute to a research project funded by the Indian Council for Philosophical Research.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely temporary position for six months. Those without a postgraduate degree in a relevant social science discipline, or lacking the specified NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications, will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates not comfortable with a project-based, time-bound role should also avoid applying.

Nagaland University is a Central University, providing a reputable academic environment. Working on a project funded by the Indian Council for Philosophical Research adds significant academic prestige. While the role is temporary, it offers valuable research experience and networking opportunities within a central university system, which can be beneficial for future academic or research careers.
