The Centre for Sustainable Employment (CSE) at Azim Premji University aims to generate and support research in the areas of job creation, employment, and sustainable livelihoods. India is facing a crisis of employment and livelihoods and it is important to generate secure, regular, and decent incomes for the vast majority. There is urgent need for fresh thinking that will make way for every Indian to lead a secure, dignified life in a just and sustainable way. This thinking must be both anchored in the real-world, and imaginative. CSE has been set up to foster fresh and creative thinking on this urgent and complex issue.

The objective of the role is to assist with carrying out research at the Centre for Sustainable Employment. The role involves working with post-doctoral research fellows and faculty on ongoing research projects on various aspects of the Indian economy with a focus on the labour market; in particular issues such as quality of work, job creation, structural change, pro-employment policies, skilling etc.
