Research Assistant

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated graduates with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Economics, or a Master's degree in Management from a top-tier institution. Candidates must possess strong knowledge of optimization methods (e.g., linear programming, integer programming), proficiency in programming languages (preferably C/C++), and hands-on experience with optimization tools like CPLEX, GUROBI, or AMPL. The ability to work independently on campus full-time and a preference for prior experience in data handling and research report development are key.

Individuals lacking a robust academic background in the specified disciplines or without demonstrable expertise in optimization techniques and programming will find this role challenging. Candidates seeking a permanent position or those unwilling to commit to full-time, on-campus work should not apply, as the appointment is initially contractual with the possibility of extension.

Working as a Research Assistant at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), a premier management institute, offers exceptional prestige and significant scope for professional development. This position provides invaluable exposure to cutting-edge research in transportation and logistics, enhancing one's profile for future academic pursuits or specialized roles in industry. While initially contractual, the experience gained is highly transferable and respected globally.
