AIIMS Kalyani Recruitment 2026: 2 Project Research Scientist I (Non-Medical) Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding an MPhil in Clinical Psychology and a First Class Post Graduate Degree in Psychology. Candidates with a PhD and prior research experience in relevant fields will be highly preferred. The position requires a dedicated professional capable of conducting data collection, assisting with analysis, and contributing to project report writing for an ICMR-funded research project focusing on AI in mental health. Candidates must be comfortable with contractual employment for a defined project duration and understand the full-time nature of the commitment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual, project-based role with a maximum tenure of four years. Those without an MPhil in Clinical Psychology or a First Class Post Graduate Degree in Psychology will not meet the essential eligibility criteria. Candidates unwilling to engage in the specified research responsibilities, including data collection and analysis, will find this role unsuitable. There are no provisions for TA/DA for the interview.

Working with AIIMS Kalyani, an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, offers significant institutional prestige and an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research. Although the position is contractual and project-specific (ICMR-funded), it provides valuable experience in a national-level medical research project, enhancing one's profile in academic and research circles. The project's focus on AI in mental health also offers exposure to an emerging and highly relevant interdisciplinary field.
