About
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Research Manager position at your organization. With over 13 years of comprehensive research management experience and a proven track record of leading multi-million rupee projects across international and national platforms, I am confident in my ability to drive evidence-based research initiatives that align with your organization's mission and standards.
My expertise directly addresses your key requirements through demonstrated success in managing complex research implementations. As Project Manager at Score Livelihood Foundation, I successfully managed livelihood, health, and education projects worth significant budgets while maintaining strict adherence to timelines and quality standards. My experience extends to leading six major research projects, including a ₹7,65,000 Ministry of Education initiative on Higher Education Institutional Social Responsibility, where I ensured rigorous methodology and stakeholder compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
My international experience with the United Nations Organization (UNO)-ICJA in Germany provided invaluable exposure to global research standards and cross-cultural team management. During this tenure, I conducted critical studies on asylum seekers' social conditions and international volunteer challenges, managing €5,000 research budgets while working with diverse stakeholder groups. This experience strengthened my ability to interpret and contextualize evidence for program development across different cultural and institutional frameworks.
As a Research Ethics Committee member and Institutional Review Board member across multiple Gujarat universities, I bring deep expertise in IRB protocol development and human subject research compliance. My academic leadership roles as HOD at CVM University and Assistant Professor at Ganpat University have honed my mentorship capabilities, where I successfully guided junior faculty and research staff while maintaining institutional research standards. Additionally, my corporate training experience with 600+ TATA employees demonstrates my ability to translate complex research findings into practical, evidence-based approaches for organizational development.
My research dissemination credentials include 10+ publications in UGC-CARE approved journals, including prestigious platforms like Cambridge University Journal and National Law University Journal. I have presented research findings at numerous international conferences and have been recognized by media outlets in both India and Germany for my work. This experience positions me well to contribute to your organization's knowledge management and external communication objectives.
The combination of my Ph.D. in Police Administration, extensive project management experience, and proven ability to work with government agencies, international organizations, and corporate partners makes me uniquely qualified to manage partner relations and ensure successful project implementation. My data-driven approach to research, demonstrated through impact assessment studies and comprehensive evaluation frameworks, aligns perfectly with your requirements for maintaining technical rigor and evidence-based methodologies.
I am particularly drawn to your organization's commitment to rigorous research standards and community impact. My experience in managing anti-human trafficking evaluations, rural community engagement studies, and innovative governance assessments has prepared me to contribute meaningfully to research initiatives that create tangible social change while maintaining the highest standards of academic and ethical integrity.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my research management expertise, international experience, and commitment to evidence-based approaches can contribute to your team's success. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rajkamal Ajmeri
