AIIMS New Delhi Project Research Scientist-II Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a Post Graduate Degree (including integrated PG) in a relevant scientific field and at least three years of post-qualification experience, or those holding a PhD in a relevant subject. Candidates should be passionate about contributing to cutting-edge medical research, specifically in pulmonary fibrosis, within a prestigious institution like AIIMS, New Delhi, under an ICMR-funded project. A preference for contractual, project-based work with a focus on research outcomes would be beneficial.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary, contractual position. Those without the specified advanced degrees (PG with experience or PhD) in a relevant subject/field will not meet the eligibility criteria. This role is not suitable for applicants looking for a large number of vacancies or a non-research-oriented career path.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, a premier medical institution, offers significant prestige and a high-quality research environment. This project-based role, funded by the ICMR, provides valuable experience in a critical area of medical research ('RUNNER trial'). While the position is temporary, the exposure, research output, and institutional affiliation can substantially enhance a researcher's profile for future academic or scientific career advancement. The scope for direct long-term growth within this specific contractual role is limited, but it serves as an excellent platform for career progression in research.
