AIIMS Jodhpur Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Project Research Scientist I (Non-Medical)

This role is ideal for dedicated professionals holding an M.Sc./Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology/MPH or a Doctorate in Psychology, specifically with a minimum of two years' professional experience in community-based mental health research. The candidate must be willing to travel extensively to rural areas around Jodhpur for field surveys and possess effective counselling competencies. Strong coordination and report writing skills are essential.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based contractual position. Candidates unwilling to travel to remote and rural areas, or those without the specified postgraduate qualifications and community mental health research experience, will find this role unsuitable. Lack of experience in counselling or community-based projects may also be a significant disadvantage.

Working with AIIMS Jodhpur, a premier national institution, offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for research experience, particularly within an ICMR-funded multi-state project. While the role is temporary, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-impact study on suicide risk reduction and mental well-being, enhancing one's profile in public health research and potentially opening doors for future collaborative projects.
