Research Associate, Project Associate & Consultancy Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with a Master's degree in quantitative or analytical fields (Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, MBA, etc.) who possess a minimum of one year's research experience. Candidates with prior experience in prestigious institutions like IITs, IIMs, NITs, or TISS, or those involved in government-funded research projects, are particularly well-suited. Strong analytical, writing, and communication skills, coupled with a willingness to travel within the NER division, are essential.

Individuals lacking a Master's degree in the specified disciplines or those without at least one year of relevant research experience should not apply. The position is contractual for 6 months, so candidates seeking long-term permanent employment may find it unsuitable. Those unwilling to engage in extensive data collection, field research, and travel within the North-Eastern Railway division will not be a good fit.

Working with the Indian Institute of Management Raipur (IIM Raipur), a recognized national institution, offers significant prestige and exposure, particularly in the domain of consultancy and research for governmental organizations. While the position is contractual and for a limited tenure, it provides valuable experience for career advancement in research, policy analysis, and academia. This role is a stepping stone for those aiming for impactful research careers.
