ICMR-NIRDH Consultant (Scientific-Medical) Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly experienced medical professionals, specifically those with MBBS/BDS (or equivalent) and at least 7 years of post-qualification experience in areas such as medical imaging, whole-slide imaging, and digital pathology. Candidates with PhD, MD, MS, or MDS qualifications will find their advanced degrees contributing significantly to the experience requirements. Given the focus on digital health and AI applications, a strong background in scientific writing, data analysis, and leading interdisciplinary projects is crucial. Retired government employees with relevant experience at a senior pay level are also encouraged to apply.

Individuals lacking the minimum 7 years of post-qualification experience or a foundational MBBS/BDS degree should not apply. Those whose experience is solely through an MPH degree will not meet the eligibility criteria. This is a contractual, temporary position, so candidates seeking permanent government employment should consider other options. The role requires significant expertise in digital health and AI, making it unsuitable for those without this specialized background.

Working as a Scientific-Medical Consultant at the ICMR-National Institute for Research in Digital Health (ICMR-NIRDH) offers a high-prestige opportunity within a leading national biomedical research organization. While the position is contractual, it provides significant exposure to cutting-edge research in digital health and AI, fostering professional growth in a highly specialized and evolving field. This role is impactful, contributing to national health initiatives, and offers a strong professional network, particularly for those looking to influence policy and research directions in digital health.
