Academic Assistant & Academic Associate

This role is ideally suited for ambitious post-graduates or PhD holders in Economics looking to gain valuable academic and research experience at a premier Indian Institute of Management. Candidates passionate about teaching, research, and institutional support, with a desire for professional growth in an academic setting, will thrive. Those with relevant academic or industrial experience will be especially valued due to the stipend increment structure.

Individuals seeking permanent government positions should not apply as these are contract-based roles, initially for one year, renewable up to three years. Those unwilling to commit to diverse responsibilities including teaching assistance, research support, and administrative tasks may find the role challenging. Applicants without the specified educational qualifications in Economics (BSc/BA/MSc/MA for Academic Assistant, PhD for Academic Associate) will not be considered.

Working at an IIM offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for career development in academia or research. While the roles are contractual, the exposure to high-quality research, teaching methodologies, and a vibrant academic environment provides excellent foundational experience. It can serve as a stepping stone for future faculty positions or research opportunities in India and abroad.
