They work closely with lawyers to collect information towards developing a life history of the accused by meaningfully engaging with the accused, their family and acquaintances as well as finding documents relating to the childhood, social context, physical and mental health etc.

2. Travel extensively throughout India, meet and communicate with prisoners, their family members, and other persons who may have oral and documentary information relevant for mitigation of the prisoners, using the tools and techniques for communication and obtaining information devised;
3. Effectively incorporate the information collected about the prisoner in their legal case to be presented before the senior counsels, judicial forum, or as part of their mercy petition;
4. Engage with mental health professionals and other allied experts in order to obtain their professional opinion about individual cases;
5. Engage with academic works to develop frameworks of analysis for each case;
6. Produce academic writing building on and forwarding the work;
7. Engage with and organize workshops and conferences for prison officials, judges, lawyers and others within the criminal justice system;
8. Present the work of Project 39A at various fora;
9. Any other work that may be necessary to further the aims of Project 39A.

Qualifications:

1. Postgraduate with a degree in social work, psychology, journalism, development studies, economics, sociology, law or any allied discipline.

3. Any previous field work involving an emphasis on communication skills, investigative capacities and/or mental health will be considered an advantage.
4. Substantial proficiency in reading/ speaking Hindi will be necessary. Additional proficiency in any of the following languages would be an advantage: Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu.

Compensation: Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and will be within the range of Rs. 55,000 – 65,000 per month.
