Research Associate

This role is ideal for recent post-graduates in Engineering, Science, Computer Application, or Management who are looking for an initial career step in technology transfer, innovation management, or intellectual property rights. Candidates eager to contribute to industry-academia collaboration and entrepreneurship development within a Central University setup will find this opportunity suitable. While essential qualifications focus on academics, those with prior project experience, especially in government-funded projects, are highly preferred.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and contractual position co-terminus with the project, initially for one year. Those without a post-graduate degree in a relevant field or with less than 55% marks will not be eligible. The limited number of posts (01) implies high competition, making it less suitable for applicants who prefer roles with numerous vacancies.

Working with Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, a Central University, under a DST-funded project (Technology Enabling Centre) offers valuable exposure to a prestigious academic environment and government-backed initiatives. While the position itself is contractual, the experience gained in technology transfer, IPR, and innovation promotion is highly relevant for future roles in research, academia, or innovation-driven industries. It provides a strong foundation for a career focused on bridging academic research with industrial application.
