Tata Institute of Social Sciences 2026 recruitment

In mid‑July 2026 the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in Mumbai opened its hiring drive with notices for an Executive Assistant and a Project Research Scientist I (non‑medical). A week later the institute added an Assistant Professor posting across social‑science disciplines and six support‑staff vacancies (Project Coordinator, Programme Officer, Program Administrative Staff), each with distinct salary bands and application deadlines.

On 22 July 2026 TISS reiterated the Assistant Professor vacancy, specifying a minimum 55 % in a Master’s degree, clearance of NET/SLET/SET or a Ph.D., and a monthly salary of ₹57,700. The deadline was set for 20 August 2026. The same notice restated the six staff positions, detailing required postgraduate qualifications (e.g., psychology or B.Com) and salaries ranging from ₹38,000 to ₹82,000 per month, with applications to be emailed by 31 July 2026.

A further notice on 30 July 2026 announced two new managerial roles at TISS – Manager – Resource Mobilization (Senior) and Assistant Manager – Resource Mobilization (Junior). Candidates must hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Management, Social Work, Development Studies, Economics, Media or Communications, be under 50 years of age, and possess relevant fundraising experience. The online application window remained open until 5 August 2026.

Together, these sequential announcements illustrate TISS’s ongoing, multi‑stage recruitment effort in 2026 to fill senior faculty, administrative, and resource‑mobilisation positions, while a separate Tata Memorial Centre vacancy for a Scientific Assistant was announced concurrently but falls outside the TISS hiring stream.
