Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
IIM Amritsar is an autonomous Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Research Assistants work directly with faculty Principal Investigators on high-impact empirical and policy studies. For Project 1, work involves qualitative research on family business resilience during economic crises, conducting nationwide interviews, and qualitative data coding using NVivo/Atlas.ti. For Project 2 (SARBAT-GIG), work requires extensive field travel across Punjab, surveying platform/gig delivery workers, building the Punjab Gig Economy Dashboard, and preparing policy briefs. The work culture is intellectually stimulating, deadline-oriented, and provides direct exposure to top-tier management research.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
The appointments are purely temporary and project-specific on a contract basis: 04 to 05 months for Project 1 and 10 months for Project 2. The engagement automatically ceases upon project completion or tenure expiration, conferring no right to regular employment or continuation at IIM Amritsar.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
As a project-bound research position, there is no internal promotion ladder. However, tenure as a Research Assistant at an IIM provides exceptional research credentials, co-authorship in policy briefs/journal articles, and strong advantage for admission into Doctoral (FPM/Ph.D.) programs at IIMs, IITs, and international business schools.
