Doctoral Research Associate & Doctoral Fellow

This role is ideal for recent PhD/FPM graduates in Economics, Operations Management, or Management Science who possess strong analytical, quantitative, and research-writing skills. Candidates with a thesis submitted and awaiting final award are also encouraged to apply. Proficiency in data analysis tools like R, Python, and experience in report writing or project management will be highly advantageous.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely project-based, contractual position. Those without a PhD/FPM or equivalent in the specified fields, or those lacking a strong research background, will not meet the essential qualifications. This is not suitable for candidates seeking a high volume of vacancies or diverse roles, as only two specific positions are available.

Working with an Indian Institute of Management (IIM) offers significant academic prestige and networking opportunities. Although a project-based role, it provides valuable research experience on a strategic national project (OHPC), which can be a strong foundation for future academic or research careers. The consolidated remuneration is competitive for a post-doctoral position.
