Centre Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in Finance, Economics, or related fields from a top-tier institution, demonstrating a strong research record and proficiency in advanced econometric and statistical tools. Candidates should possess excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills, eager to contribute to India-specific financial market research and help shape a new research center.

Candidates without a PhD or equivalent doctoral qualification, or those lacking a substantial research background in financial economics, asset pricing, or market microstructure should not apply. Individuals uncomfortable with large datasets, econometric tools (R, Python, Stata), or those without strong organizational and communication skills will find this role unsuitable.

Joining IIM Ahmedabad, a globally renowned institution, offers unparalleled prestige and significant career growth opportunities. This position provides direct exposure to the Centre's Governing Council and Executive Committee, allowing the selected candidate to shape a new research center from its early stages and contribute to impactful, India-specific financial market research. The initial one-year appointment with potential for extension suggests a long-term commitment to high-calibre research and academic development.
