Young Professional I AI/ML, Young Professional II Public Policy & Evidence Translation & Young Professional II Scientific Communication & Media

This role is most suitable for early to mid-career professionals with expertise in AI/ML, Public Policy, or Scientific Communication, seeking contractual engagement within a prestigious national health research institution. Ideal candidates possess strong academic backgrounds (Graduate/Master's with at least 55% marks) and relevant post-qualification experience (1-3 years) in data science, public health, or communication. A passion for contributing to public health research and policy, coupled with excellent analytical and communication skills, is crucial.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary and contractual positions with no claim for regularization. Those without the specified minimum educational qualifications or relevant work experience will not be shortlisted. Applicants already in regular government service are also ineligible. Lack of required technical or communication skills in the respective domains will be a significant disadvantage.

ICMR-NINE operates under the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), a premier body for biomedical research in India. This offers significant prestige and exposure to impactful public health initiatives, NCD epidemiology, and policy translation at a national level. While the engagement is contractual for one year (with possible extension), it provides valuable experience, networking opportunities, and a strong professional reference within a leading research environment. This role is excellent for building a career in public health research, data science, or scientific communication within a government setup.
