Project Associate I

This role is ideal for recent graduates with a B.Tech, M.Sc., or M.A. in relevant engineering, science, or social science disciplines who are passionate about climate resilience, water infrastructure, and urban planning. Candidates with a strong academic background and a willingness to engage in fieldwork in the Himalayan regions are particularly well-suited. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to a significant research project under IIT Mandi and the University of Toronto India Foundation.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position or long-term career stability should note that this is a temporary, project-based role with an initial duration of 12 months. Those unwilling to conduct extensive fieldwork or work in a multidisciplinary, time-sensitive environment should not apply. Individuals looking for roles with higher pay scales might find the consolidated salary of Rs. 27,000/- p.m. less attractive.

Working with IIT Mandi on a project funded by the University of Toronto India Foundation offers excellent academic prestige and exposure to international research collaborations. This experience will be highly valuable for future academic pursuits (e.g., PhD) or research-oriented careers in environmental science, engineering, or development. While it's a temporary contract, the institutional affiliation and the nature of the research provide a strong foundation for career growth in the research domain.
