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

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate degree holders or MBAs with a strong academic record (minimum 60% marks) who possess excellent data analysis skills, proficiency in statistical software (R, Python, STATA), and potentially experience in text mining. It particularly suits individuals aspiring to pursue a PhD and seeking rigorous research exposure and academic development within a prestigious institution.

Candidates without a postgraduate degree or MBA from a reputed institution, or those with less than 60% marks, should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent position or substantial long-term employment might find the contractual nature (one year, extendable) unsuitable. Those lacking strong research aptitude, data analysis skills, or proficiency in required software will also struggle.

Working as a Research Assistant at the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow offers significant academic prestige and invaluable exposure to high-level research under a faculty member. While the position is contractual, it provides an excellent foundation for a career in academia or research, particularly for those aiming for a PhD. The experience gained at a top-tier institution like IIM Lucknow is highly regarded in both national and international academic circles.
