Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

AIIMS Rishikesh acts as the Regional Technical Agency (RTA) for the State of Uttarakhand under the National Survey on Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India (NDUS), commissioned by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment (MoSJE) and coordinated by NDDTC AIIMS New Delhi. Appointees in the Department of Psychiatry will manage and supervise community-based survey activities, household surveys (HHS), and respondent-driven sampling (RDS) across urban and remote hilly districts in Uttarakhand. Daily responsibilities involve training field investigators, revalidating data collection on the ground, preparing periodic progress reports for NDDTC, maintaining project accounts/SoEs, and coordinating logistics with state agencies. The role demands significant travel across Uttarakhand alongside research desk operations.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The position is purely contractual for an initial duration of 6 months, extendable based on individual performance, survey progress, and sanction of funds from MoSJE/NDDTC. The appointment does not confer any right to permanent absorption or regularization at AIIMS Rishikesh.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Project staff engagements do not have an institutional promotion structure. However, hands-on supervisory experience in a flagship national public health survey under AIIMS New Delhi and AIIMS Rishikesh serves as a premier research credential, providing substantial competitive advantage for ICMR scientist positions, WHO/UN technical consultancies, and doctoral (Ph.D.) or MPH admissions.
