IIT Indore & JPNCOEH Recruitment 2026: Research Associate (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for post-graduate candidates with a strong research aptitude and a keen interest in Environmental Humanities or Economics. The ideal applicant will possess computational skills (text analysis, machine learning, sentiment analysis) and be proficient in assisting with fieldwork, literature reviews, and academic coordination. Individuals looking for a one-year contractual research engagement within a prestigious academic institution should consider applying.

Candidates lacking prior research exposure or computational skills relevant to text analysis and machine learning should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or a role with extensive direct teaching responsibilities will find this contractual research associate position unsuitable. The single vacancy and specific project focus might not appeal to applicants looking for broader career opportunities.

Working as a Research Associate at the Jayaprakash Narayan National Centre of Excellence in the Humanities, housed within IIT Indore, offers significant academic prestige and networking opportunities. IITs are institutions of national importance, and association with such a centre enhances one's research profile considerably, providing a solid foundation for future academic or research careers, particularly in interdisciplinary humanities and environmental studies.
