The Project Research Scientist-I at AIIMS Kalyani operates within the Department of Cardiology on the prestigious ICMR-funded multicentric AROMA study.

The work offers exceptional clinical research and publication experience in an Institute of National Importance.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
Contractual appointment for an initial period of 12 months, extendable up to the completion of the project based on annual performance and ICMR funding approvals. Stationed at AIIMS Kalyani campus, NH-34 Connector, Basantapur, Kalyani, West Bengal – 741245.
