Academic Associate

This role is most suitable for aspiring academicians and researchers holding a Master's Degree in Economics or Public Policy, especially those with an interest or specialization in Agriculture, Development, Applied Econometrics, or Data Sciences. Ideal candidates possess strong analytical, communication, writing, and computing skills. While relevant work experience is valued, outstanding academic achievers without prior experience are also encouraged. A willingness to travel and engage with rural India is considered a significant asset.

Individuals who do not possess the specified Master's degree or lack fundamental analytical and communication skills should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position, a role entirely outside academia/research, or who are unwilling to potentially travel or work in rural contexts may find this contractual opportunity unsuitable.

Joining the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), a globally renowned institution, as an Academic Associate offers an excellent platform. This position serves as a stepping-stone for future academicians and researchers, providing invaluable experience in teaching assistance and independent research. It enhances prospects for pursuing higher studies like a Ph.D. and securing faculty positions at other reputed institutions, significantly boosting one's career trajectory in the academic and research fields.
