IIM Ahmedabad Misra Centre for Financial Markets and Economy 2026 Recruitment: 2 Centre Research Fellow Positions

This role is ideally suited for PhD holders (or those nearing completion) in Finance, Accounting, Financial Economics, or closely related quantitative fields. Candidates must possess a strong foundation in theoretical and empirical research, with a proven ability to conduct independent academic work, evidenced by publications or working papers. Proficiency in econometric modeling, statistical analysis, and experience with large-scale financial datasets, coupled with working knowledge of software like Stata, R, Python, MATLAB, or EViews, is crucial. The position is perfect for those aspiring to contribute high-quality research to leading academic journals under the guidance of IIM Ahmedabad's distinguished faculty.

Individuals without a PhD (or not in the final stages of thesis submission with an imminent degree award), or those lacking a robust research background in finance/accounting, should not apply. Candidates who cannot demonstrate prior independent academic research, publications, or proficiency in advanced econometric software and quantitative analysis will not be suitable. This is a research-intensive role, and applicants seeking purely administrative or non-academic positions would find it misaligned with their career goals.

IIM Ahmedabad is an institution of national importance and a globally recognized leader in management education and research. A Centre Research Fellow position here offers immense prestige and an exceptional platform for academic and professional growth. Working with the Misra Centre for Financial Markets and Economy provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research on Indian and global financial markets, contributing to a significant body of knowledge. This fellowship can serve as a strong stepping stone for future high-level academic or research careers, enhancing one's profile significantly within the global research community.
