Education Research Specialist

Candidates with a strong academic background (MBBS/BDS with MPH or M.Sc. with PhD) and significant research experience in medical/health professions education are ideal. Applicants should demonstrate ability in study design, data analysis, scientific writing with published papers (preferably as first/corresponding author), and possess excellent communication skills. Familiarity with statistical software for qualitative/mixed-methods research is also highly desirable. This role is perfect for experienced researchers looking to contribute to a Centre of Excellence in a prestigious institution.

Individuals without the mandatory postgraduate qualifications (MPH, M.Sc., or PhD) and the specified research experience (minimum 2-3 years) should not apply. Those lacking publication experience, particularly as a first or corresponding author, or without expertise in medical/health education research and related software, will find it challenging. The position is contractual and project-based, which might not suit candidates seeking permanent government employment.

AIIMS, New Delhi, is a premier medical institution in India, offering high prestige and a challenging academic environment. Although a contractual position, working at a Centre of Excellence within AIIMS provides significant professional exposure, research opportunities, and networking avenues, which can greatly enhance future career prospects in medical research and education. The specialized nature of the role indicates a high-impact contribution.
