About this position

Amrita School of Social and Behavioural Sciences at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Kerala, India) is inviting applications for a PhD opportunity focused on Gender Harmony and Community Resilience in Rural Karnataka, with a specific research emphasis on gender-based violence and intimate partner violence in Kolar district.

The project is grounded in the Gender Harmony Program, a community-based initiative designed to strengthen local systems for prevention and response to gender-based violence. The scholar will work in rural field settings with Self-Help Groups, Gender Point Persons, Panchayat representatives, ASHA and Anganwadi workers, police, health workers, schools, youth groups, and other community stakeholders.

The research follows a district-to-village cascade model that includes building institutional support, training local gender champions, strengthening referral pathways, supporting community dialogue, and helping Ward Members develop practical action plans for GBV prevention and response. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for students interested in social work, sociology, public health, political science, and community-based intervention research.

Eligibility highlights: candidates should have an MSW or related social work background; Kannada language skills are preferred; applicants should be ready for intensive fieldwork and comfortable engaging with sensitive issues related to gender-based violence, rural development, and community resilience.

Application: interested candidates are encouraged to apply through the SSBS PhD admissions process. No funding details or deadline were specified in the post.
