Central Ayurveda Research Institute Senior Research Fellow Walk-in Interview 2026 (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals with an M.Pharm (especially in Ayurveda) or a Bachelor's in Engineering/Technology, or an MSc in Natural Sciences. Candidates with NET/GATE/GPAT qualifications and 2-4 years of relevant R&D experience in pharmaceutical development, particularly concerning Ayush & H drugs, and those with experience in government-funded research projects, will find this position particularly suitable. It offers a focused opportunity within a specialized research project.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position co-terminus with a specific project (10 months duration). Those without the specified core qualifications in pharmacy, engineering, or natural sciences, or lacking the mandatory research experience, will not meet the essential criteria. The single vacancy makes it highly competitive.

The Central Ayurveda Research Institute (CARI) operates under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, offering a reputable platform for research in traditional Indian medicine. This Senior Research Fellow position, though contractual, provides valuable, specialized research experience on a collaborative project. While immediate long-term career progression is not guaranteed due to its project-based nature, it serves as an excellent stepping stone for future research roles within the broader Ayurvedic or pharmaceutical research ecosystem.
