Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Research Assistant Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Master's Degree in Social Science, Management, or a related field, particularly those with a PhD or NET qualification. The position suits candidates interested in contributing to academic research within a short-term, project-specific environment at a premier institution. It offers valuable experience in a focused research project on the sharing economy.

Individuals seeking a permanent or long-term position should not apply, as this is a maximum 6-month contractual role. Those without a Master's degree in the specified fields or without a strong academic/research background may find themselves at a disadvantage, especially given the preference for PhD/NET qualified candidates. Candidates requiring campus accommodation should note that it will not be provided.

Working at IIT Guwahati, a renowned national institute, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's research profile, even for a short duration. While a project-based role offers limited long-term career progression directly within this specific position, the experience gained and networking opportunities can be highly beneficial for future academic or research careers. The project's focus on the 'sharing economy' is a relevant and current research area.
