ICMR Young Professional-II Recruitment 2026 (3 Vacancies)

This role is ideal for post-graduates in fields such as Biostatistics, Statistics, Demography, Population Studies, Public Health, or Medical Sociology, who possess a minimum of one year of relevant post-qualification experience. Candidates with a strong background in scientific writing, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, advanced statistical modelling (R, STATA), and large-scale survey data analysis will find this opportunity particularly fitting. The position suits individuals seeking a challenging contractual role within a prestigious national research organization, focused on data analysis and research support.

Individuals lacking a post-graduate degree in the specified disciplines or without at least one year of post-qualification experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, temporary position unsuitable. Candidates currently holding regular/permanent government posts are explicitly ineligible. If you require TA/DA for attending interviews or prefer positions with provident fund benefits, this role will not meet your expectations.

Working with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), a premier national institution for biomedical research, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's resume. While this is a contractual position, the experience gained in handling large-scale datasets, statistical analysis, and contributing to research and policy initiatives within a top-tier research body can open doors to future opportunities in both public health and data science sectors. The role, though temporary, provides exposure to high-impact national health research.
