About Indian Institute of Management Jammu Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship

Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Jammu is launching the Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship (PDRF) Program from 2022. Postdoctoral training is imparted for scholarly development and career advancement for individuals who have obtained a doctoral degree. It would be instituted in IIM Jammu as part of its research outreach activities. Up to five fellowships would be made available per year. IIM Jammu aims to provide an opportunity to young research scholars to pursue active research in their respective field of specialization (or an interdisciplinary field) within broad contours of business management. It is a fulltime program with a duration of one year, extendable for another year subject to satisfactory progress. Institute will admit young researchers as institute Post-Doctoral Research Fellows. Under this scheme, PDRFs will carry out advanced research at IIM Jammu with a faculty member of IIM Jammu as a mentor. Due to limitations in the number of PDRFs, a faculty member can mentor a maximum of one PDRF at a time.
