RGU NSS Research Assistant and Field Investigator 2026

RGU Research Assistant and Field Investigator Recruitment 2026: Overview

Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) at Rono Hills, Doimukh, Arunachal Pradesh is holding a walk-in interview in its Department of NSS to pick a Research Assistant and a Field Investigator. Both people will work on an ICSSR-funded research project titled "Arthik Punarutthan Mei Sanyukt Pariwar Ki Bhumika Ka Adhayyan: Arunachal Pradesh Ke Vishesh Sandarbh Mei", which studies the role of the joint family in economic revival, with a special focus on Arunachal Pradesh.

This is a short, temporary project job, not a regular university post. It suits social science postgraduates who want hands-on research or field survey work in the state.

Posts and Disciplines

• Research Assistant: the senior project role, meant for social science postgraduates who also hold NET, M.Phil or Ph.D. and have already worked as a Research Assistant on a project. The opening paragraph of the notice calls this post "Research Associate", while the position table names it Research Assistant; the table is where the pay and qualification are given.
• Field Investigator: the entry-level field role for social science postgraduates. No NET or earlier research experience is asked for.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Temporary engagement: The recruitment is purely temporary and only for the stated period. The Research Assistant term is four months starting November 2026; the Field Investigator row gives no separate period.
• Fixed pay: The Research Assistant pay is a fixed monthly amount with no other allowances mentioned.
• Hindi typing: You must know Hindi typing to be considered for either post.
• Quick joining: If you are selected, you have to join within five working days.
