Consultant for NABL Accreditation of Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory VRDL

This role is ideally suited for highly specialized microbiologists or virologists holding an MD or PhD with significant practical experience. Candidates must possess a minimum of two years of experience in a government viral diagnostic laboratory and have documented leadership and consultancy experience in NABL accreditation (at least three assignments). A strong understanding and proven track record in Quality Management Systems (QMS) documentation and implementation for medical laboratories, particularly in molecular diagnostics and serology, are essential. This position is perfect for an expert seeking a high-impact, short-term consultancy to contribute their specialized knowledge to a national health institution.

Individuals without an MD or PhD in the specified disciplines, or lacking the mandatory two years of experience in a government viral diagnostic laboratory, should not apply. Those without documented NABL accreditation consultancy experience or a completed ISO 15189:2022 training course will not meet the essential criteria. This is a temporary, deliverable-based consultancy, so candidates seeking permanent employment, long-term career progression, or comprehensive employee benefits should look elsewhere. Firms, agencies, or consortiums are explicitly ineligible.

This consultancy offers a unique opportunity to work with AIIMS Kalyani, a prestigious national institution operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Contributing to the NABL accreditation of its Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL) signifies involvement in a critical national public health initiative. While a temporary, individual assignment, it provides significant professional recognition and allows an expert to leverage their specialized skills to enhance quality standards in viral diagnostics. The role offers a chance to leave a lasting impact on the institution's operational excellence and contribute to national health infrastructure development.
