Research Assistant

This Research Assistant role at MANIT Bhopal is ideal for ambitious individuals holding a B. Arch or B. Plan degree followed by an M. Plan or M. Tech in Transport Planning/Engineering. Candidates must possess a minimum of one year of professional experience and strong proficiency in research report writing, data analysis, academic communication, GIS, and AutoCAD. Preference will be given to those with prior experience in Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) projects, making it suitable for specialists in urban and transport planning seeking project-based work.

Individuals lacking the specified Master's degree (M. Plan/M. Tech) in relevant fields, or those without the mandatory one year of professional experience, should not apply. This position is purely temporary, for a duration of six months, and co-terminus with the project, making it unsuitable for candidates seeking long-term or permanent employment. A lack of working knowledge in GIS and AutoCAD would also be a critical dealbreaker.

Working as a Research Assistant at a National Institute of Technology (NIT) like MANIT Bhopal offers significant institutional prestige and valuable research exposure, particularly within a government-sponsored project. While the role is temporary, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a real-world project like the 'Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Katni,' enhancing one's professional portfolio and opening avenues for future research or specialized roles in urban and transport planning, both in academic and governmental sectors.
