IIPS Senior Research Officer Recruitment 2026 (1 Post)

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a Ph.D. in quantitative fields like Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Demography, or Population Studies, coupled with demonstrable research experience in secondary data analysis and projection methods, particularly in public health or population studies. Candidates with exposure to cancer registration data in India will find this position highly relevant.

Individuals lacking a Ph.D. or equivalent academic background in the specified fields, or without relevant research experience in secondary data analysis and projection methods, should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this contract-based, temporary position unsuitable, as its initial duration is only three months.

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) is a Deemed University known for its work in population studies. This project-specific role offers valuable experience in a niche research area (cancer incidence projection) with potential for extension. While not a permanent government position, it provides a good consolidated salary and an opportunity to contribute to a significant public health project, enhancing one's research portfolio within a reputable institution.
