About the Research Programme
India’s urban transition is unprecedented in scale and complexity. Within it lie both the opportunities of increased economic development and employment as well as the challenges of persistent inequality, extreme deprivation and environmental degradation. The Research Programme at IIHS aims to build recent knowledge that enables solutions to these challenges; transforming the everyday lives of people and the economy, society and the setting.

The IIHS Research Office supports the Research Programme and plays a pivotal role in building research capabilities and impact. It anchors key functions such as grant seeking, grantmaking, grant management, research communications, and research ethics. The office also contributes to knowledge production and capacity development, organises conferences and workshops, and coordinates with other teams within IIHS. By managing key processes and activities, the Research Office enables collaboration between Schools and other functions.

About the Postdoctoral Programme at IIHS




The IIHS Postdoctoral Programme builds on over a decade of teaching and training young scholars and early career researchers working on urbanisation-related questions across India’s cities, towns and villages, and across the world. These have included spaces for learning from peers as well as leading global researchers and academics, like the IIHS Doctoral Workshop and Urban ARC.

IIHS’ Postdoctoral Programme, little over a decade old, offered candidates the opportunity to transition to IIHS positions or transition to careers at leading domestic and global universities and research institutions. It is now being refocused to create a cohort of the next generation of IIHS Faculty and contribute to interdisciplinary faculty development of other Indian higher education institutions.
