Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

AIIMS New Delhi is India's apex medical institution and an Institute of National Importance (INI). The Department of Psychiatry and National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) is the nodal national center for clinical management, epidemiology, and policy research in substance use disorders and mental health. The Project Research Scientist-I (Medical) will work directly under Dr. Yatan Pal Singh Balhara (Professor of Psychiatry & NDDTC) on an ICMR-funded research project. Primary duties include clinical patient evaluations, participant screening and recruitment, questionnaire and psychiatric rating scale administration, monitoring data fidelity, writing progress reports, and contributing to high-impact scientific publications. The working atmosphere is intellectually demanding, collaborative, and adheres strictly to ICMR research governance.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The position is purely temporary and contractual for the duration of the ICMR project (initial tenure typically 12 months, extendable based on project sanction and candidate performance). The post is co-terminus with the project and based at AIIMS New Delhi / NDDTC. It confers no right or claim for permanent absorption or regular appointment at AIIMS New Delhi or ICMR.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As a project-funded appointment, there is no formal cadre promotion hierarchy. However, managing an ICMR research project at AIIMS New Delhi provides invaluable research pedigree, clinical trial experience, and co-authorships in indexed international journals. This substantially boosts prospects for MD/DM/DNB Psychiatry admissions, PhD/postdoctoral fellowships, or regular Scientist-B / Scientist-C selections in ICMR and central healthcare institutions.
