Academic Associate

This role is ideal for aspiring academicians and researchers holding an MBA in Human Resources Management (HRM) who are looking for a stepping stone into academia. It suits individuals comfortable with teaching assistance, research activities, and administrative support in a dynamic academic environment. Those looking to gain experience at a prestigious institution before pursuing further studies like a Ph.D. will find this opportunity particularly beneficial. Candidates open to a 6-month contract and ready for immediate joining are well-suited.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is an ad-hoc, contractual position with a fixed duration of six months. Individuals without an MBA in HRM, or those unwilling to engage in both teaching and research support activities, will not be suitable. This role is not for those looking for a purely independent research position without any teaching or administrative responsibilities.

Working as an Academic Associate at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), a top-tier management institution in India, offers significant prestige and networking opportunities. Although the role is temporary, it provides invaluable experience in an academic setting, which can greatly enhance one's profile for future Ph.D. programs or faculty positions at other reputed institutions. The exposure to high-quality research and teaching methodologies at IIMA is a strong asset for long-term academic growth.
