Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Staff will be engaged on a temporary outsourced basis for an Ayurvedic clinical research study conducted by ICMR-NIRWH (formerly NIRRCH), funded by CCRAS, evaluating the 'Impact of Muktashukti Bhasma and Saubhagya Shunthi Churna in reversal of bone mineral density among lactating women consuming traditional diet foods in Maharashtra'. Dieticians will conduct dietary assessments, nutrient intake calculations, participant counseling, and clinical documentation at the Naigaon Bone Health Clinic. Data Entry Operators will manage electronic case report forms (e-CRFs), data cleaning, double data entry, and speed typing in MS Excel. The environment involves clinical OPD interaction and active public health research.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The appointment is purely temporary through an outsourcing agency for an initial period of 6 months, extendable based on performance and project duration up to 31 August 2027. The duty location is at the Bone Health Clinic, Naigaon, Dadar East, Mumbai. Candidates must arrange their own lodging and commute in Mumbai; no accommodation or TA/DA is provided.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

The positions are project-bound without any claim for regularization or permanent employment in ICMR or NIRWH.
