IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Project Associate-1 Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian citizens holding a B.Tech or Master's degree (M.Tech/M.Sc) in an engineering discipline such as Mining, Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Environmental, or Earth Sciences, with a strong academic record (min. 60% CGPA). Candidates with prior research/project experience in slope stability and proficiency in software like Plaxis 3d, Geostudio, flac3d, or rs3d will find this role particularly suitable. It offers a valuable opportunity for those seeking temporary research exposure, with potential for conversion to a PhD.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based position. Candidates lacking the specified engineering degrees or the minimum academic performance will not be considered. Those without Indian citizenship are ineligible, and applicants uninterested in specialized research related to mine health, safety, and data analysis should look elsewhere.

Working as a Project Associate at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a prestigious institution, offers significant academic and research exposure. While the position is temporary and has a single vacancy, it provides an excellent platform to contribute to an AI-enabled research project, build a strong research profile, and potentially pursue a PhD, enhancing long-term academic or specialized industry career prospects.
