The National Institute of Technology Raipur has invited online applications for two temporary posts on an Indian Council of Social Science Research-funded project. The project, titled 'Language, Culture and Survival: A Sociolinguistic and Ethnographic Exploration of Birhor PVTGs across Indian States', is field-based and requires travel across Bengal and Bihar.

The Research Assistant post (one vacancy) carries a consolidated salary of Rs 37,000 per month for six and a half months. The Field Investigator post (one vacancy) pays Rs 20,000 per month consolidated for two months and 20 days. Both posts require a postgraduate degree in Social Science with at least 55% marks and one year of research experience.
Candidates must fill the online Google Form by 25 October 2026. Interviews will be held in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at NIT Raipur.
These two short-term, project-linked posts offer no job security beyond the project tenure, which runs from two months and 20 days to six and a half months. The consolidated salary, Rs 20,000 and Rs 37,000 per month, is below regular entry-level government pay scales. Candidates must be willing to travel across Bengal and Bihar and be proficient in an Austro-Asiatic language, which sharply narrows the applicant pool. The 25 October deadline gives applicants only four days to apply.
