Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Department of Neonatology at AIIMS Jodhpur is an apex tertiary care academic setup in Western India. The ICMR-funded RCT examines a breakthrough obstetric-neonatal question: physiological delayed cord clamping (waiting until placental delivery) versus standardized 1-minute cord clamping for neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants born vaginally at ≥35 weeks gestation. Project Research Scientist coordinates trial documentation, site monitoring across four national centers, and statistical reporting. Project Nurses work directly in high-volume labour rooms and maternity wards across 24x7 rotational shifts (including night shifts) to screen and enroll mother-infant dyads immediately at delivery. Rigorous, hands-on clinical trial environment.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Contractual appointment initially for 6 months, renewable every 3 to 6 months based on work performance. Total project tenure is 33 months for Project Research Scientist (Non-Medical) and 12 months for Project Nurse-III. Purely temporary and co-terminus with project funding.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Non-regular project research staff position. Does not lead to permanent absorption at AIIMS Jodhpur. However, publication co-authorship in high-impact international neonatal/pediatric journals and apex clinical trial experience under ICMR provides elite credentials for ICMR/DBT/WHO permanent research scientist openings, doctoral enrollments, and international maternal-child health fellowships.
