Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIML) 2026 Recruitment: Research Assistant (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for fresh postgraduates or early-career researchers with a strong academic background in quantitative fields like Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Finance, Operations Research, or Development Studies. Candidates with proven experience in data analysis, survey design, and proficiency in statistical software (Excel, STATA) are particularly well-suited. The position requires dedication to research, willingness for field visits, and the ability to contribute effectively to academic projects under Dr. Debdatta Pal's guidance.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual position for an initial period of one year. Those without a postgraduate degree in a relevant quantitative discipline with at least 60% marks, or without a keen interest in research and field activities, will find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Research Assistant at a prestigious institution like IIM Lucknow offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in academic research and contribute to high-impact projects. While the position is contractual, it provides significant exposure to a top-tier academic environment, which can be a strong foundation for future research or academic careers.
