So, it has happened.
I have started a very ambitious research project at Esha and am now realising that one is short on capability.
This year, we are trying to understand the social and professional integration of blind professionals at the workplace.
The research is being guided by Dr. Amit Jain, Faculty at SPJIMR, in his personal capacity.
My role is to execute this research well.
Help Needed: Someone senior to join as the Head of Corporate Relations for this project.
What this means:
A. Get in touch with the employers who have inclusive workspaces (we have this information and will get an introduction to the right person at the organisation.)
B. Get their approval to participate in the study as an organisation.
C. Co-ordinate with the research team (me) to schedule the interviews and the research event. (We are doing a free Theater Workshop at each entity to say Thank you. The interviews will happen after the workshop at the venue itself. We have researchers in all cities where we want to conduct this research.)
D. Ensure that the event completes successfully. If some interviews need to be taken later, ensure that the loop is closed.
E. Thank the organisation formally for their participation.
F. When the report is ready, ensure that it reaches everyone who participated in the study.
Ideal person:
If you are:
A. Able to devote about 2-3 hours a day on all working days
B. Feel the need for good research in the disability space
C. Want to make connections with corporates, esp stakeholders in the CSR space.
D. Are good at communicating - both oral and written
- this should be a good thing to consider.
Location can be anywhere, so long as the person is able to do good virtual collaboration.
I expect the role to continue for 2-4 months, depending on the pace of data collection.
While there is a small honorarium for this role, our means are limited and honorarium would not be the right reason to consider this role.
