PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology Jabalpur Recruitment 2026: 03 Research Associates and Other Posts for ICSSR Project

This opportunity is ideal for post-graduates in social science or related disciplines with a strong academic record (minimum 55% marks). Candidates who have qualified national-level examinations such as GATE/CEED/NET/Ph.D. are particularly well-suited. The Research Associate role is best for those with at least two years of research experience, including Ph.D. scholars nearing thesis submission or who have recently submitted. It's a good fit for individuals seeking short-term (6-month) project-based work to gain valuable research exposure at a central institution.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or long-term career positions should not apply, as these roles are purely temporary and for a fixed duration of six months. Those without a post-graduate degree in the specified disciplines or who have not cleared a relevant national-level examination (for Research Associate/Assistant) will not meet the essential qualifications. Applicants without the mandatory two years of research experience (for Research Associate) will also be unsuitable.

Working on an ICSSR-funded research project at PDPM IIITDM Jabalpur offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to a significant academic initiative. It provides exposure to a central government institution and enhances one's research profile, particularly beneficial for academics and researchers. While the roles are temporary, they offer practical project experience and networking opportunities within the research community, which can be a stepping stone for future academic or research endeavors.
