IIT Mandi Recruitment 2026: Project Associate -II (1 Post)

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding a Master's or Bachelor's degree in Yoga or Naturopathy Science who possess a minimum of two years of research experience. Preference is given to NET/GATE qualified individuals, who will also receive a higher consolidated salary. Candidates with desirable experience in EEG & fMRI data acquisition will find themselves particularly well-suited for this specific neurophysiological research project.

Individuals lacking the essential educational qualifications in Yoga or Naturopathy Science, or those without the mandatory two years of research experience, should not apply. This is a temporary, project-based position, so candidates seeking permanent government employment should look elsewhere. The age limit of 35 years (before relaxation) may also be a barrier for some.

Working as a Project Associate at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers a valuable opportunity to engage in high-quality academic research and enhance one's professional credentials within a prestigious institution. While the position is temporary (initially for one year, extendable based on performance), it provides significant exposure to cutting-edge research in a niche area. This experience can be a strong stepping stone for future academic or research careers, despite the absence of long-term institutional stability in this particular role.
