IIMB Research Associate Recruitment 2026: Multiple Positions

This Research Associate role at IIM Bangalore is ideally suited for ambitious individuals holding a Master's (or an exceptional Bachelor's) degree in Economics, Public Policy, or related quantitative fields. Candidates must demonstrate strong programming skills in STATA, R, or Python, coupled with significant experience in analyzing large datasets. It's particularly advantageous for those aspiring to pursue a PhD in economics or public policy, as it offers direct research mentorship and integration into a leading academic community.

Individuals lacking prior research experience, especially with large-scale data analysis or proficiency in required programming languages (STATA, R, Python), should not apply. Those without a strong academic foundation in Econometrics, Statistics, Micro, or Development Economics will find this role unsuitable. The position is project-based and intensely research-focused, making it inappropriate for applicants seeking purely administrative or non-academic career paths.

As an Institute of National Importance, IIM Bangalore offers unparalleled prestige and networking opportunities within Asia's top graduate management schools. This Research Associate position provides an excellent springboard for a career in academia or advanced research, particularly for those targeting top-tier PhD programs, benefiting from mentorship by renowned faculty and exposure to cutting-edge economic research.
