Indian Institute of Management Lucknow 2026: 1 Research-Associate/Research-Assistant Vacancy

This position is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a strong academic background and research aptitude, particularly those holding a Ph.D. in management (HRM/OB/Psychology) for the Research-Associate role or a post-graduate degree in related fields for the Research-Assistant role. Candidates with prior research experience, publications in peer-reviewed journals, and proficiency in quantitative/qualitative data analysis software (SPSS, SmartPLS, NVivo) will be highly preferred. The role suits those seeking a contractual research opportunity within a prestigious academic institution.

Individuals who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (Ph.D. for Research-Associate, Post-graduation for Research-Assistant with minimum 60% marks) and the mandatory research experience for Research-Associate (2 years) should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or full-time faculty role will find this contractual research-focused position unsuitable. Applicants without strong academic records or a genuine interest in research collaboration with faculty should also reconsider.

Working at the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, a top-tier management institution in India, offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for academic growth. This contractual research position provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with experienced faculty, contribute to impactful research, and enhance one's publication record. While the position itself is contractual, the experience gained from a renowned institution like IIM Lucknow can be a strong foundation for future academic or research careers.
