ICMR-NIIRNCD Project Research Scientist-II (Medical) Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified medical professionals with a strong background in public health or implementation research, particularly those holding an MD, MDS, MPH, or PhD. Candidates must have at least three years of post-qualification experience and a proven track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. The position suits individuals seeking to contribute to a critical research project focused on tuberculosis screening, offering significant research exposure within a government research institute.

Those without the specified medical degrees (MBBS/BDS minimum) and relevant postgraduate qualifications or PhD should not apply. The requirement of three years of post-qualification experience is mandatory, making this unsuitable for freshers. Candidates seeking permanent government employment should note that this is a temporary, project-based position with no claim for regular appointment. Individuals who have previously served in ICMR projects/institutes for more than three years are also ineligible.

Working with ICMR-NIIRNCD, an institute under the Indian Council of Medical Research, offers significant academic and research prestige. While the position is temporary, it provides valuable experience in national-level public health research, enhancing a candidate's profile for future research or academic roles. The project-specific nature means career progression is tied to project duration, but the exposure to cutting-edge research and publications can lead to long-term growth in the research domain.
