Recruitment for Research Positions at Jammu University Sociology Department

The Department of Sociology at the University of Jammu has issued an official notification for the engagement of temporary research staff. A total of six vacancies are available, divided between the roles of Field Investigators and Research Assistants. These positions are specifically designed to facilitate data collection and academic research activities under the supervision of the department's faculty. Candidates interested in social science research and field studies should review the criteria immediately.

As these roles are on a temporary basis, they offer an excellent opportunity for post-graduates and researchers to gain practical experience within an established academic framework. The University of Jammu, located along the Tawi river, emphasizes that these appointments are project-specific and do not carry a claim for permanent absorption into the university service. Applicants from the Jammu & Kashmir region with relevant academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The application process requires candidates to submit their credentials and supporting documents to the Department of Sociology. The final date for the receipt of applications is 2 April 2026. It is essential that all submissions include proof of educational qualifications and any prior research experience, as the selection committee will use these documents to shortlist candidates for the interview phase.

Shortlisted individuals will be notified of the interview schedule via the contact details provided in their applications. The official notice serves as the primary guideline for all recruitment-related queries and eligibility clarifications.
