IIM Lucknow Research Associate Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly academic individuals holding a Ph.D. in Management, Tourism, or related fields, who possess an excellent academic record and a proven track record of research publications. Candidates with at least one year of research-oriented professional experience, particularly in data collection and analysis, and strong computer/communication skills, will find this position a significant opportunity to contribute to high-level research at a prestigious institution.

Individuals without a Ph.D. or an equivalent doctoral degree in the specified fields, or those lacking a strong academic record with first-class performance, should not apply. While one year of experience is desirable, candidates entirely new to research or without demonstrated publication ability may find themselves at a disadvantage. This is a purely contractual position for an initial period of one year, which might be a dealbreaker for those seeking permanent employment from the outset.

Working as a Research Associate at the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, a top-tier national institute, offers immense prestige and an unparalleled platform for academic growth. It provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with leading faculty (Prof. Satyabhusan Dash) and contribute to impactful research, significantly enhancing one's research portfolio and opening doors for future academic or research positions in India and abroad. Though contractual initially, strong performance can lead to extension.
