ALL INDIA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, BATHINDA Recruitment 2026: 02 Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated and skilled postgraduate degree holders in Psychology, particularly those with a First Class degree. Candidates possessing an MPhil in Clinical Psychology or a PhD in a relevant field, coupled with practical experience in patient recruitment, clinical history taking, delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and managing clinical research projects, will be exceptionally well-suited. Strong proficiency in MS Office, RedCap software, and multilingual communication skills (Punjabi, Hindi, English) are highly valued for this research-intensive, project-based position.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual position for a maximum duration of 4 years, tied to an ICMR-funded project, without any right to regularization or permanent absorption at AIIMS Bathinda. Those without a First Class Postgraduate Degree in Psychology, or lacking relevant clinical research and patient interaction experience, may find themselves at a significant disadvantage.

Working with AIIMS Bathinda, a premier national institute, under an ICMR-funded project offers excellent exposure to high-impact clinical research in psychiatry. While the position is contractual, it provides valuable experience in a prestigious medical research environment, enhancing future career prospects in clinical psychology and research. The project's focus on AI-Avatar as a co-therapist for depressive disorder presents an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge mental health interventions.
