JAWAHARLAL INSTITUTE OF POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (JIPMER) Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 | 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals with a background in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT or DMLT with experience) who are keen to contribute to cutting-edge medical research. Candidates must be fluent in Tamil, possess strong laboratory skills, and be proficient in data management. Those with prior experience in cancer-related projects, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, and Redcap Database handling will find this opportunity particularly fitting. It suits individuals looking for a one-year contractual research engagement within a prestigious medical institution.

Individuals lacking the specified educational qualifications (BSc MLT or DMLT), particularly the mandatory one year of experience for DMLT holders, should not apply. The requirement for Tamil fluency is critical for patient interaction and a definite dealbreaker for those who do not meet it. Aspirants seeking a permanent government position or long-term career stability should note that this is a project-based, contractual role with a likely duration of one year, subject to renewal based on project needs and performance. The age limit of 30 years (with relaxations) must also be strictly adhered to.

Working at JIPMER, a centrally funded and highly reputed institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to advanced medical research environments. While the position is contractual and project-specific, it provides valuable experience in clinical trials and research methodologies, particularly in oncology, which can be a strong asset for future academic or research careers. The 'NAGA Study' project title indicates involvement in a multicentre randomized controlled trial, offering a robust research experience. This role can serve as a stepping stone for further research opportunities in medical science.
