Research Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates in social sciences, particularly those with a strong academic background in Gender and Energy Economics. Candidates demonstrating proficiency in quantitative (STATA/R) and qualitative research methods, excellent communication skills, and a willingness for fieldwork are particularly well-suited. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals aiming to gain research experience within a prestigious Institute of National Importance.

Individuals who lack a postgraduate degree in social sciences, do not meet the 55% minimum marks, or do not have NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. will not be considered. Those uninterested in fieldwork, or lacking strong data analysis and communication skills, should not apply. The position is temporary and contractual, so candidates primarily seeking permanent government employment should consider this.

Working at IIT Dharwad, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and networking opportunities. While the role is temporary (1 year, extendable up to 1 year), it provides valuable research experience in a critical area, enhancing future career prospects in academia, research, or policy formulation. This experience is highly regarded in the research community.
