About Neeti Shodh

Neeti Shodh is a youth-led, research-driven initiative committed to advancing legal and policy literacy, critical governance thinking, and evidence-based research. We operate as a learning-centric space for students, researchers, and early-career professionals to engage with public policy and legal developments in India.

Position Overview

The Knowledge Outreach Contributor will play a key role in our internal coordination and academic engagement operations. This is a strategic and hybrid role that combines research orientation, editorial supervision, and peer mentorship. Contributors will assist in guiding fellow interns by offering structured research directions, recommending themes and approaches, and supporting quality control across ongoing research tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist new research interns by suggesting relevant topics based on current affairs or thematic clusters.
• Offering starting points and guidance for secondary research.
• Curate weekly research themes (e.g., Criminal Law, Gender & Policy, Climate Law, Governance Failures, etc.)
• Review and give constructive feedback on intern submissions (non-evaluative)
• Collaborate with Neeti Shodh leadership in developing explainer series, blog topics, or carousel content
• Maintain knowledge documentation: topic banks, brief outlines, and resource lists
• Work closely with fellows/coordinators to ensure productivity and learning outcomes of research teams

Eligibility Criteria

• Background in Law, Political Science, Public Policy, or related disciplines (LLB/LLM/MA/MPhil/PhD students encouraged)
• Strong academic writing and legal-policy reasoning skills
• Good understanding of contemporary socio-legal issues and SDG-driven governance
• Ability to work collaboratively in a remote team environment
• Prior publication or blog writing experience is an added advantage

Perks & Benefits

• Official Certificate of Completion
• Recommendation Letter (performance-based)
• Featured posts on Neeti Shodh’s LinkedIn page
• Opportunity to lead a theme cell or coordinate a cohort
• Priority consideration for future leadership roles or paid collaborations
• Experience letter describing your knowledge management and peer mentorship role

Why This Role Matters

This role isn’t just about assigning topics—it’s about shaping how young minds think about law, justice, and governance. As a Knowledge Outreach Contributor, you act as a thought bridge between researchers and thematic purpose, while building your own leadership portfolio in public-oriented legal research.

This is an excellent opportunity for students aiming to build careers in policy, law, international relations, journalism, or think-tank work. You’ll be directly contributing to a growing body of independent research with real-world impact.

Deadline: 5th July 2025
