IIIT Allahabad Research Assistant (RA) Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a B.E./B.Tech. or M.Sc. degree in Computer Science or Information Technology, who possess a strong foundation in Python programming, machine learning, and deep learning. The position suits individuals eager to gain valuable project-based research experience within a prestigious academic institution on a focused project involving multimodal analysis for mental disorder recognition. Preference is given to residents of Uttar Pradesh.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position or those who require HRA will find this role unsuitable as it is purely contractual with a fixed stipend. Individuals who do not meet the essential educational qualifications or exceed the maximum age limit of 28 years (as on 08-02-2026) should not apply. Those unwilling to commit to a project-specific, fixed-term engagement (up to three years) or unable to attend a walk-in interview in Prayagraj should also consider other opportunities.

Working at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A), an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige. This project provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a socially relevant area (mental health and well-being using AI/ML). While the position is contractual, it can serve as a strong foundation for future research careers, Ph.D. studies, or specialized roles in AI/ML development. The experience gained here is highly valuable for enhancing a research profile and opening doors to further academic or industry opportunities in advanced technology fields.
