Research Associate / Data Analyst/Project Scientist

This role is ideal for candidates possessing a Master's degree in quantitative disciplines such as Economics, Statistics, Data Analytics, Operations Research, Mathematics, or Business Analytics, who also have a minimum of one year of relevant experience in research, data analysis, or project-related academic/industry work. Proficiency in statistical software like STATA, R, Python, and experience with large datasets are crucial. Candidates interested in contributing to policy-oriented research, particularly in transport economics, and comfortable with field visits and report writing in a project-based, contractual setting will find this role most suitable.

Individuals who do not hold a Master's degree in the specified fields or lack at least one year of relevant work experience should not apply. Those seeking a permanent employment opportunity or unwilling to undertake field surveys and extensive data management will find this position unsuitable, as it is a contractual role for a specific project with a fixed duration.

Working at the Indian Institute of Management Raipur, a highly reputed national institute, offers significant prestige. While this is a contractual position for a project, it provides invaluable experience in advanced data analytics, research coordination, and policy recommendation within an academic framework. This experience can substantially boost career prospects for future research roles, positions in data science, or further academic pursuits in both public and private sectors.
