Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad Recruitment 2026: 1 Research Assistant Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified post-graduates in Social Science disciplines who possess a NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualification. Candidates should be proficient in data collection, qualitative data analysis, and advanced software like MS Word and Excel. Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially fluency in Odia and English, are crucial for this field-based research role. It's perfect for those seeking to gain project-based research experience at a premier academic institution.

Individuals lacking the essential postgraduate qualifications, particularly NET/M.Phil./Ph.D., should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term tenure should be aware that this is a 12-month contractual project position. Applicants unable to make their own accommodation arrangements in Dhanbad for interviews, or those unfamiliar with Odia language (if required for fieldwork), might find this role challenging.

Working as a Research Assistant at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a recognized Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable experience in a sponsored research project. While the role is contractual and short-term (12 months), it provides an excellent platform for contributing to meaningful research and enhancing one's research profile, which can be highly beneficial for future academic or research career progression.
