Consultant

This role is ideal for medical professionals holding a Bachelor's degree in medical sciences (MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS) combined with a relevant post-graduate qualification in Public Health, Epidemiology, or related fields. Candidates must possess a minimum of 3 years' experience in disease surveillance, public health epidemiology, or research, particularly those with NACP experience. Strong scientific writing, publication skills, and proficiency in biostatistics/statistical packages are highly desirable for this specialized position within a prestigious national institute.

Individuals without the specified Bachelor's degree in medical sciences and a relevant post-graduate qualification should not apply. Those lacking the mandatory 3 years of specific experience in public health epidemiology or disease surveillance will not be shortlisted. Candidates seeking permanent government employment should also be aware that this is a purely temporary and contractual position, and offers no right to claim regular absorption.

Working with the ICMR-National Institute for Research in Digital Health offers significant prestige and exposure within the Indian public health sector, especially in critical areas like HIV Surveillance and Epidemiology. While the position is contractual, it provides a valuable opportunity to contribute to national health programs and gain high-level experience, enhancing a professional's resume for future roles in public health research and management.
