Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Kerala University of Digital Sciences, Innovation and Technology (Digital University Kerala / DUK, formerly IIITM-K) is a premier state research university in Technocity, Thiruvananthapuram. Appointees on this ICMR-funded cerebrovascular biomarkers project work within the Image Computing Laboratory and clinical collaborator hospitals. Project Technical Support - II focuses on clinical data collection, patient management, and Brain Oximetry experiments at Ernakulam hospital sites. Project Technical Support - III handles advanced quantitative image processing, MATLAB/Python algorithm implementation, and scientific research publications at the Thiruvananthapuram campus. Work is fast-paced, multidisciplinary (bridging clinical medicine and signal/image computing), and strictly research-oriented.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Appointments are purely on a contract basis initially for 1 year, extendable based on performance and ICMR project duration. Station locations are Ernakulam (for PTS-II clinical trials) and Thiruvananthapuram (for PTS-III laboratory development), with occasional inter-site travel.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Engagements are project-tied contractual roles without permanent absorption or regular university cadre promotion avenues. However, experience earned under this ICMR project provides substantial research credibility for Ph.D. admissions at DUK/IITs/NITs and technical positions in medical imaging/biotechnology industries.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Mandatory original certificates: Candidates must bring all original certificates (age proof, degree mark sheets, category certificates, experience letters) along with one set of self-attested photocopies to the walk-in venue; failure to produce originals leads to immediate forfeiture of candidature.
  • Government / PSU employees NOC requirement: Applicants currently employed in Government, Semi-Government, or PSU departments must produce a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their employer at the time of the interview.
  • Strict reporting schedule: The walk-in interview is scheduled from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM on 22.09.2026 at Digital University Campus, Mangalapuram, Thiruvananthapuram. Late arrivals will not be entertained.
  • Contractual nature: Posts are co-terminus with the ICMR research project and do not confer any right or claim for regular or permanent absorption in Digital University Kerala.
