Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

AIIMS Bhubaneswar is a premier Institute of National Importance under MoHFW, Govt of India. Working as project staff under an ICMR-funded pediatric clinical trial (ESCHAR Trial: Efficacy in Scrub typhus of Combination therapy in Children) involves patient handling, coordinating with pediatric outpatient and inpatient wards, administering clinical trial protocols, data collection on Case Report Forms (eCRFs), biosafety adherence, and strict compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. The environment is academically enriching, clinically fast-paced, and highly collaborative.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The engagement is purely temporary and contractual for an initial tenure of 11 months, with further continuation/extension contingent upon project requirements, availability of ICMR funding, and periodic performance evaluations.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Project contractual posts do not carry regular promotion ladders or absorption into permanent AIIMS staff cadre. However, clinical research experience at AIIMS Bhubaneswar under an ICMR-funded randomized clinical trial serves as high-value credentials for career advancement into senior clinical trial coordinator roles, ICMR permanent scientist selections, PhD admissions, or international public health fellowship programs.
