Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic, AIIMS, New Delhi Project Research Scientist - I (Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026

This role is ideal for highly specialized Post-Graduate or M.Tech candidates with a strong academic background in fields such as Human Genetics, Genomics, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, or Bio-Medical Engineering. Candidates must possess a minimum of two years of research experience, particularly in advanced techniques like NGS, Mass-Spectrometry, RT-PCR, ELISA, and Bioinformatics. Preference will be given to PhD qualified individuals, indicating a strong emphasis on advanced research capabilities and a robust understanding of the project's 'multi-omics' approach.

Individuals without a Post Graduate or M.Tech degree in the specified disciplines, or those lacking the mandatory two years of relevant research experience, should not apply. The project is temporary (ICMR funded), so candidates primarily seeking permanent government employment may find this unsuitable. The absence of TA/DA for interviews and the requirement to apply via CV submission without an online portal might also be deterrents for some.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, a premier medical institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. This project-based position provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a comprehensive, multi-omics research project focused on early-onset keratoconus, thereby enhancing a researcher's profile and opening doors for future advanced research or academic roles. While not a permanent government position, it offers valuable experience in a highly respected scientific environment.
