Principal Project Scientist & Project Scientist

This opportunity is ideal for highly qualified research professionals with a Ph.D. or Master's/B.Tech degree in Economics, Public Policy, Management, or related fields. Candidates must possess strong econometric analysis and programming skills (R or STATA), along with proven research experience and publications. Individuals adept at data management, literature review, and independent task management will thrive in these specialized project-based roles at a premier institution.

Candidates lacking specific research experience (1-2 years minimum depending on the post) and relevant academic qualifications (Ph.D. for Principal Project Scientist, Postgraduate for Project Scientist) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government positions or general administrative roles may find this contractual, project-specific research appointment unsuitable. A low number of vacancies (2 posts) means extremely high competition, making it less suitable for those seeking a less competitive entry point.

Working at IIT Delhi, a globally recognized institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. These project scientist roles provide excellent opportunities to contribute to impactful research on CSR partnerships in India, enhancing one's academic and research portfolio. While contractual, successful performance can lead to valuable professional networking and future research prospects within the academic ecosystem.
