ICMR Consultant (Scientific-Medical/Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026: 1 Contractual Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly experienced professionals with a minimum of 10 years of post-qualification experience in relevant medical or scientific fields. Candidates must hold advanced degrees such as MBBS, BDS, BVSc, M.Sc, B.Tech, BE, MCA, MPH, B.Pharm, BAMS, BSMS, or MD in AYUSH. Strong proven competency in research, data analysis (qualitative and quantitative), and scientific writing with publications in high-impact journals is essential. Retired government servants meeting the criteria are also encouraged to apply, offering their expertise on a contractual basis.

This position is strictly unsuitable for freshers or individuals with less than 10 years of post-qualification experience. Those seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary contractual role for a period of one year, with no provisions for regularization. Candidates lacking specific expertise in primary research, data analysis, or scientific publication will also find this role challenging.

Working with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), a premier biomedical research body under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, offers significant prestige. While a contractual position, it provides an opportunity to contribute at a high level (comparable to Group A equivalent) to national initiatives in reproductive, child health, and nutrition. This role is excellent for professionals looking to leverage their extensive experience for high-impact, short-term assignments with competitive remuneration, enhancing their professional profile within a leading government research institution.
