Indian Institute of Management Lucknow Senior Research Assistant Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates, especially those with a specialization in Statistics, who possess at least two years of research-oriented professional experience. Candidates aspiring for a PhD and seeking rigorous academic exposure, particularly in data analysis, statistical software (R, Python, Latex), and research paper publication, will find this position highly beneficial for their academic and career development.

Individuals seeking permanent employment should not apply as this is a purely contractual position for an initial period of one year. Candidates without the minimum two years of relevant professional experience or a postgraduate degree with 60% marks will be deemed ineligible. Those not comfortable with a consolidated fellowship without standard pay scales might also find this unsuitable.

Working as a Senior Research Assistant at a premier institution like IIM Lucknow, even on a contractual basis, offers significant institutional prestige and invaluable research experience. It provides an excellent platform for networking within academia, contributing to high-quality research, and potentially paving the way for future doctoral studies or research positions. The role offers strong growth in academic research skills.
