Pondicherry Univ Research Assistant Banking Tech 2026

Pondicherry University Research Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Department of Banking Technology, School of Management, Pondicherry University is hiring a Research Assistant for a research project funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). Pondicherry University is a central university on the Kalapet campus in Puducherry, and the position sits with the project's Principal Investigator in the Banking Technology department rather than with the university's regular establishment.

The opening is notified under reference PU/DBT/ICSSR 2025-26/04 and is a short, fixed-term research engagement. ICSSR funds social-science research in universities across the country, and this post is one such funded position — so the department is looking for someone who can start work on the study quickly, handle the numbers and also go out to the field. A postgraduate in any social science discipline can apply.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The engagement runs for four months, or until the project is completed, whichever comes first.
• Project post: The position belongs to an ICSSR-funded project of the Department of Banking Technology and is paid from that project.
• Regional preference: Preference goes to candidates who are proficient in Malayalam.
• Academic preference: Among candidates who meet the qualification, those who have cleared NET or hold a PhD are preferred.
• Shortlisting: Only shortlisted candidates are contacted by email — the notice promises no other reply to applications.
