Research Associate

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in Astrophysics, with a proven research track record evidenced by at least one SCI-indexed publication. Candidates possessing specialized expertise in AstroSat/X-ray astronomy data analysis, Black Hole astronomy, and practical experience with machine learning and statistical tools will be particularly well-matched. This is perfect for researchers seeking a focused, project-based tenure of up to two years within a prestigious academic and research environment.

Candidates without a PhD in Astrophysics or without relevant research publications in SCI-indexed journals should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside a specific research project with a fixed tenure will find this position unsuitable.

Working at IIT Indore, a renowned Institute of National Importance, on a project funded by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) offers significant prestige and exposure. This position provides valuable hands-on research experience in a cutting-edge field. While it is a contractual role for a maximum of two years, it presents an excellent opportunity to enhance a research portfolio and build a network within the national scientific community, contributing to long-term career growth in academia or research.
