Research Assistant

This role is ideal for post-graduate candidates (M. Plan/M. Tech) in Urban, Regional, City, Transport Planning, or Transportation Engineering with a background in Architecture or Planning. Strong analytical, report writing, and communication skills are essential, along with mandatory proficiency in GIS and AutoCAD. Candidates with prior experience in Urban Transport Projects will be preferred. It's a great opportunity for those looking for short-term research exposure in a reputable national institute.

Candidates without a Master's degree in the specified fields (M. Plan/M. Tech) should not apply. Those lacking mandatory GIS and AutoCAD skills, or without an interest in Urban Transport Projects, will find this role unsuitable. Individuals seeking long-term or permanent employment should note this is a 6-month temporary, project-specific contract. Also, with only one vacancy, competition will be high, and prior applicants need not re-apply.

Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) is an Institute of National Importance, offering significant prestige. While the position is temporary (6 months), it provides valuable experience working on a sponsored research project, enhancing a candidate's research profile and professional network within urban planning and transport sectors. It's a good stepping stone for further academic or research-oriented careers.
