Consultant

This role is ideal for highly experienced professionals with a strong academic background (M.Sc/MD or equivalent) and a minimum of 8 years of post-qualification experience, particularly in biomedical research, tribal health, and molecular diagnostics. Candidates with a distinguished publication record and expertise in research project management, training, and capacity building will find this opportunity suitable. Retired government servants are also encouraged to apply, with remuneration adjusted as per GoI norms. The position is contractual and requires full-time dedication without other assignments.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or those with less than 8 years of relevant experience should not apply. The role is a short-term, contractual engagement (one year), and offers no claim for regularization or other government allowances/perquisites beyond the consolidated fee. Those unable to commit full-time or seeking re-employment benefits will find this unsuitable. Candidates with incomplete applications or those applying via modes other than Speed Post will be rejected.

Working with ICMR-NITHR, a permanent research institute under the Indian Council of Medical Research (a premier government body), offers significant prestige and exposure in the field of tribal health research. While the role itself is contractual and short-term, it provides an excellent platform for experienced consultants to contribute to scientific activities of national importance. It enhances a professional's portfolio, particularly for those looking for impactful, project-based work within a government research framework. Long-term growth within this specific contractual role is limited, but the experience gained is highly valuable for future opportunities in research and public health.
