Indian Institute of Technology Indore Research Associate & Technical Assistant Recruitment 2026 (Multiple Vacancies)

This opportunity is ideal for highly motivated individuals passionate about research in Technological Innovation and Intellectual Property (IPR) ecosystems, particularly those evaluating STI policy interventions related to sustainability. For Research Associate roles, candidates with a Ph.D. and significant post-ME/M.Tech research experience, including publications, are well-suited. For Technical Assistant, B.Sc. or Engineering Diploma holders with an interest in the project's scope are encouraged to apply. These positions offer valuable exposure within a premier academic institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should note that these are contract-based project roles with an initial tenure till March 2026. Those without the specific educational qualifications (Ph.D. for RA, B.Sc./Diploma in Engineering for TA) and requisite experience (3 years post-ME/M.Tech for RA) will not be suitable. Candidates looking for a large-scale recruitment drive may find the limited number of vacancies (especially for Technical Assistant) a drawback.

Working at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore, a nationally recognized institution of excellence, offers significant prestige and a conducive environment for research and academic growth. While the positions are project-based and contractual, they provide an excellent platform for career advancement in research, policy analysis, and academia, enhancing one's professional profile substantially. The exposure gained in a cutting-edge research project is highly valuable for future opportunities.
