IIMB Research Associate Recruitment 2026 | Opportunity at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals holding a Master's degree in Psychology, Management, or Social Sciences, who are seriously interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management (OBHRM). The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, proficiency in statistical tools (such as SPSS, Mplus, or R Package), and experience in conducting literature reviews and academic writing. This is an excellent opportunity for those seeking to gain rigorous research experience within a prestigious academic environment and contribute to cutting-edge projects.

Individuals who lack a Master's degree in the specified fields or are not primarily aiming for a Ph.D. in OBHRM may find this position unsuitable. Those seeking permanent employment or a role focused primarily on industry applications rather than academic research and doctoral preparation might also find it misaligned with their career goals. Candidates unwilling to commit to an initial 6-month contractual period should also reconsider.

Working as a Research Associate at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), an Institute of National Importance and a leading graduate school in Asia, offers significant academic prestige and career acceleration. This position provides unparalleled exposure to a vibrant research community, mentorship from esteemed faculty, and direct pathways for future Ph.D. applications, greatly enhancing long-term prospects in academia and research.
