Announcing IIHS Early Career Researcher Workshop | June 3-5 2026

IIHS is pleased to announce the first edition of its Early Career Researcher (ECR) Workshop, which will take place in-person from 3–5 June 2026 at the IIHS Sadashivanagar campus in Bengaluru.

Building on the extensive experience of IIHS faculty, a decade of delivering PhD workshops, and IIHS’ annual research conference Urban ARC, this three-day workshop offers a dedicated learning space for urban scholars navigating the post-PhD professional life.

It is structured around plenary sessions and smaller group sessions organised along two tracks: a Pedagogy Track focused on interdisciplinary teaching-learning, and a Research/Applied Research Track focused on interdisciplinary research.

Researchers awarded their PhD from 2021 onwards are eligible to apply. PhD scholars who have submitted their dissertation may be considered in exceptional circumstances.

Candidates should submit an application along one of the two tracks — a teaching statement and/or draft syllabus (Pedagogy), or a research statement and/or grant proposal abstract (Research/Applied Research). Apply here.

The fee for the course is INR 5,000 + 18% GST.
