Senior Research Scientist Clinical

This role is most suitable for experienced medical/dental professionals with a strong background in clinical research, particularly those with 5-8 years (depending on their primary degree) of post-qualification experience in public health, maternal & child health, or infectious diseases. Ideal candidates will possess proven leadership skills in clinical trials, a track record in developing SOPs, and expertise in managing research teams. A strong desire to contribute to translational research within a prestigious government-backed institution and familiarity with ICH-GCP and ethical guidelines are essential.

Candidates lacking substantial post-qualification clinical research experience (minimum 5-8 years based on degree type) or those without an MD/MS/DNB/MDS/MBBS/BDS degree should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment may find the 'short-term contractual' nature of this position a significant dealbreaker. A lack of familiarity with clinical trial regulatory requirements and ethical submissions would also be a disadvantage.

BRIC-THSTI is a highly reputable government institution under the Ministry of Science & Technology, focusing on cutting-edge translational health science. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work on a significant multi-country clinical trial ('Action-III Trial'), providing invaluable exposure to large-scale, impactful research and fostering professional growth within an advanced scientific environment. While a short-term contract, the specialized experience gained would be highly valuable for a career in clinical research, particularly within government or academic settings.
