Research Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (Master's or PhD) with a strong academic background in Information Systems, Management, Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related socio-economic disciplines. The ideal candidate should possess excellent research acumen, proficiency in Python and R, experience with data analysis (especially secondary data, panel datasets), and familiarity with statistical/econometric modeling software like Stata. Individuals keen on pursuing a PhD in the future are strongly encouraged to apply.

Candidates without a postgraduate degree in the specified fields or lacking proficiency in programming languages (Python, R) and statistical analysis tools should not apply. Those uncomfortable with academic research methodologies, data extraction, modeling, and visualization will find this role unsuitable. The position is initially for a 6-month contract, which may be a dealbreaker for those seeking long-term permanent employment upfront.

Working as a Research Assistant at IIM Ahmedabad, a globally renowned institution, offers significant prestige and unparalleled exposure to cutting-edge research in digital transformation. This position provides an excellent foundation for a career in academia or research, enhancing a candidate's profile for future PhD programs or research-oriented roles. The experience gained under expert faculty supervision at a premier institute will be highly valuable for long-term career growth.
