Sr. Project Scientist

This role is ideal for experienced professionals holding a 1st class Master's degree with a minimum of three years' experience in higher education, education policy, or innovation. Candidates should possess strong qualitative data analysis skills, a publication record in relevant international journals, and an interest in contractual project-based research appointments within a prestigious academic environment like IIT Delhi.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without a Master's degree and the requisite three years of specialized experience should not apply. The role is contractual and project-specific, making it unsuitable for those looking for long-term, stable career progression outside of project cycles. Lack of a strong publication record or relevant policy research experience would also be a dealbreaker.

Working as a Sr. Project Scientist at IIT Delhi offers the prestige of being associated with a leading Indian technical institute, providing valuable experience in high-impact research projects. While the role is contractual and linked to project duration, it offers significant opportunities for professional growth in research, academic publishing, and networking within the policy and innovation sectors. It's an excellent stepping stone for a career in research and policy analysis.
