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

This role is ideal for fresh postgraduates in Social Science disciplines, especially those with NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications, who are eager to gain hands-on research experience within a prestigious IIT setting. Candidates who possess prior research experience and an interest in cultural/martial arts research (Kalaripayattu) would be particularly well-suited for this project-specific, short-term engagement.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not consider this position, as it is a contractual role for a fixed duration of 8 months. Candidates unwilling to travel for fieldwork or those without a strong academic background in Social Sciences will find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Project Staff at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) carries significant academic prestige, offering valuable exposure to a research-intensive environment. While the role itself is temporary, it provides an excellent foundational stepping stone for aspiring researchers, enhancing their CVs and opening doors to future academic or research opportunities.
