Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a postgraduate degree in Planning with a valid GATE score. Individuals passionate about research, particularly those aspiring to enroll for a PhD on a similar topic, will find this position beneficial for gaining significant research experience at a prestigious institution. SC/ST candidates will be given preference on equal qualifications and experience.

Candidates lacking a postgraduate degree in Planning or a valid GATE score are not eligible. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term stability might find the 2-year contractual nature unsuitable. Individuals unwilling to engage in project deliverables like report preparation, data collection, and academic publication should not apply.

Working as a Research Associate at IIT Roorkee offers high academic prestige and an excellent platform for research exposure under a significant international project (Australia-India Partnership). It provides valuable experience that can serve as a stepping stone for future academic or research careers, including potential PhD admission, despite being a project-specific, fixed-term position.
