Consultant Medical

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced medical professionals (MBBS/BDS/BVSc or equivalent) with a substantial post-qualification experience of at least 12 years in their specialization. Retired government employees who previously held positions at Pay Level 10 or above with a minimum of 10 years experience in a relevant field are also encouraged to apply. Candidates with higher qualifications like PhD, MD/MS, or MVSc, especially those with expertise in cervical cytology examination, PAP smear interpretation, or an MD (Pathology)/DCP, will be highly preferred. The role requires individuals adept at developing study protocols, overseeing research implementation, ensuring quality standards, and mentoring junior staff.

This position is not suitable for fresh graduates or individuals with less than 10-12 years of relevant post-qualification experience. Those seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contract-based project position that does not confer any claim to regularization or other benefits associated with regular ICMR staff. Candidates unable to attend the walk-in interview on June 8, 2026, in Pune, or those who cannot present all required original documents at the time of interview, will be ineligible.

Working with ICMR-NITVAR, a research institute under the Indian Council of Medical Research (a premier government health research body), offers significant prestige and a platform to contribute to national health initiatives, particularly in translational virology and AIDS research. While the position is temporary and project-based, it provides valuable experience in high-impact research, enhancing a professional's reputation and network within the scientific and medical community. The role offers exposure to leading-edge research practices and regulatory guidelines, fostering continuous professional development.
