Project Assistant

This role is ideal for candidates holding a Diploma in Mechanical or Agricultural Engineering who possess strong computer skills, including working knowledge of MS Office, data collection, and data analysis software. It suits individuals looking for short-term, project-based work (6-12 months) in an academic research environment, specifically interested in sustainable valorization and biodegradable alternatives. Candidates should be self-motivated and adept at data processing and interpretation.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a contractual project-based position with a limited tenure. Those without a Diploma in Mechanical or Agricultural Engineering are not eligible. Candidates must be able to work in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, and be prepared for data collection from various locations. The upper age limit of 32 years (as on 01/01/2026) is a strict criterion for unreserved candidates, though age relaxation applies for specific categories.

Working as a Project Assistant at a premier institution like IIT (ISM) Dhanbad offers valuable experience in a research-intensive environment. While the role is temporary and project-specific, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a relevant research area ('Sustainable Valorization of Kendu Leaves') and gain hands-on experience in data collection, processing, and material testing. This experience can be a stepping stone for further academic pursuits or research-oriented roles in the future, enhancing one's professional profile within the scientific and engineering communities.
