NALSAR hiring Project Lead for broiler chicken welfare study
The Story in Brief
NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, has invited applications for one Project Lead on a six-month contractual post to produce a scoping report on broiler chicken welfare in India. The role pays Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 1,25,000 per month and is remote with extensive fieldwork. Candidates must have five-plus years of experience in poultry or veterinary practice.
The project, run jointly with ALPN Research Foundation, Bengaluru, will assess farming systems, supply chains, market demand and regulation across India. Fieldwork is expected to cover about 60 farm visits in six states, plus slaughterhouses and meat shops. All fieldwork costs will be covered by the organisation.
The selected candidate will join on 16 November 2026. Applications must be submitted via a Google form by 31 October 2026, 11:59 PM IST.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The vacancy comes at a time when Indian poultry regulation is largely self-regulated, and formal welfare standards are weak. A six-month scoping report by a university law centre, backed by a think-tank, will map a fragmented industry that spans backyard farms to integrated commercial operations. The findings are meant to guide intervention pathways, but the notice itself leaves several gaps, no minimum educational qualification is listed, and the required 5+ years of poultry experience is a narrow filter. The 31 October deadline and a 16 November joining date leave a short window for applications. The 60 farm visits across six states will test whether the report's data can drive future regulatory or policy action.
