Chief Research Officer, Senior Project Officer Establishment & Procurement & Junior Research Officer Report Writing

This opportunity is ideal for highly experienced researchers and project managers, particularly those with a strong background in Demography, Statistics, Computer Applications, or Public Health. Candidates should possess specialized qualifications (PhD, M.Tech, M.Phil, or Postgraduate Diploma/Degree) and significant prior experience, especially 10+ years for senior roles, including work on large-scale surveys or government project administration. Individuals seeking temporary, project-based assignments with a focus on national health surveys (NFHS-6) will find these roles highly suitable for contributing to significant national research.

Candidates primarily seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary, contractual positions initially for six months. Those without substantial, specific experience as outlined in the qualifications (e.g., 10 years for senior roles) or lacking the required advanced degrees will likely not meet the criteria. Applicants unwilling to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses for the walk-in interview should also consider this aspect.

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), a Deemed to be University under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, offers a prestigious platform for these roles. Working on the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6) provides an opportunity to contribute to a nationally vital project with significant impact. While temporary, these positions offer valuable experience in high-impact research and project management within a reputable academic and governmental framework, enhancing one's professional portfolio in a specialized field.
