Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Chief Manager

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced professionals holding a Ph.D, M.Tech/M.E, B.Tech/B.E, or a Master's degree in Engineering, Science, Humanities, or Management. The ideal candidate will possess 7 to 12 years of relevant experience, preferably within reputable academic institutions, with a strong background in sponsored research, consultancy, IPR management, technology transfer, and fostering a startup ecosystem. Exceptional communication, organizational, management, and administrative skills are essential.

Individuals lacking the specified high-level educational qualifications and extensive, directly relevant experience in research administration and industry engagement within an academic setting should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position should note this is a temporary, contractual assignment. Applicants primarily interested in teaching or core research, rather than administrative and facilitative roles, may find this position unsuitable.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) provides significant institutional prestige and a dynamic environment for professional growth. This Chief Manager position, based within the Centre for Sponsored Research and Consultancy, offers unparalleled opportunities to engage with leading researchers, industry partners, and innovators. It promises significant scope for networking, contributing to cutting-edge research and development initiatives, and shaping the institute's external collaborations, despite its initial contractual nature.
