Research Associate I

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a postgraduate degree in Management, Commerce, or related fields, coupled with 3-5 years of hands-on experience in Corporate Finance, Banking, Financial Services, or Fintech research. The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills, proficiency in MS Office, and a strong understanding of the Fintech ecosystem, innovation management, and incubation processes. This position is perfect for those seeking to gain valuable project-based research experience within a highly reputable academic environment.

Individuals aspiring for a permanent government position or those lacking the specified 3-5 years of relevant industry or academic experience in fintech/finance research should not apply. Candidates looking for roles with a large number of vacancies or seeking a standard, long-term career path may find this single, temporary post less appealing.

Working at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), a globally recognized institution, offers significant academic and professional prestige. While the role is temporary and project-based, it provides exceptional exposure to cutting-edge fintech research and can serve as a powerful enhancer for future career opportunities in both academia and industry. The experience gained here is highly valued, despite the limited long-term permanency within this specific project.
