AIIMS Bhopal Research Associate -II Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified professionals holding a Ph.D., M.D., M.S., M.D.S., or equivalent degree. Candidates with an M.V.Sc., M.Pharm., M.E., or M.Tech. degree who possess a minimum of 3 years of relevant research, teaching, or development experience, along with an SCI-indexed publication, will also find this role suitable. The position requires strong analytical and research skills, a proactive approach to community-based projects, and the ability to work effectively in a project-driven environment. Essential practical requirements include a valid driver's license for both two-wheeler and car, with the ability to arrange personal transport for field work.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a purely contractual role with a limited initial tenure of 6 months, extendable to 9 months. Candidates without the specified advanced degrees or the requisite 3 years of post-master's experience (for those without a doctoral degree) will not meet the essential criteria. Furthermore, those unwilling to commit to field work or who do not possess the necessary driving licenses and transport arrangements should reconsider, as project-related travel is mandatory. Applicants expecting TA/DA for interviews will be disappointed as it is not provided.

Working as a Research Associate at AIIMS Bhopal, a premier national institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-impact medical research. The role involves contributing to an ICMR-funded project, providing valuable experience in a reputable research setting. While the position is contractual, it can serve as an excellent platform for career advancement in research, particularly within the public health and medical sciences domain. The opportunity to contribute to a significant project on pediatric tuberculosis offers both professional growth and the chance to make a tangible societal impact.
