JAWAHARLAL INSTITUTE OF POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (JIPMER) 2026 Recruitment: Project Associate I - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for B.Sc-Nursing or Bachelor of Pharmacy graduates with at least one year of clinical or research experience, particularly those familiar with clinical trials or oncology. Candidates must demonstrate fluency in Tamil (speaking, reading, and writing) given the necessity of patient interaction and consenting for this project. It suits individuals seeking a short-term, contract-based research position within a prestigious medical institution, contributing to a significant multicentre trial.

Individuals without the specified B.Sc-Nursing or B.Pharm degree, or lacking the minimum one year of clinical/research experience, should not apply. Inability to speak, read, and write in Tamil is a critical dealbreaker due to the direct patient interaction and consenting requirements. Those seeking permanent government employment should note this is a purely contractual position for one year, with no claim to a regular post in JIPMER.

JIPMER is a highly reputed institution for medical education and advanced research in India, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. While this is a contractual, project-based role, it offers invaluable hands-on experience in a significant Phase 3 multicentre randomized controlled trial (NAGA Study) in oncology. This exposure can significantly enhance a candidate's research profile and professional network within the clinical research domain, providing a strong foundation for future career opportunities in medical research or clinical roles.
