JIPMER 2026 Recruitment: 1 Project Technical Support III (Research Assistant) Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated Life Sciences graduates with a minimum of three years' experience, or postgraduates with at least one year of relevant experience, particularly those with a background in Nursing or Public Health. Candidates should possess strong communication skills in both Tamil and English, be proficient in basic computer applications, and be comfortable with a project-based, contractual employment model within a research environment. Individuals passionate about clinical research and patient interaction, with a focus on public health interventions, would find this role particularly engaging.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely contract-based role for a fixed project duration. Individuals without the specific academic qualifications (Life Sciences Graduate/PG) and requisite experience will not be considered. Those who are not fluent in Tamil or lack basic computer literacy will also find this role unsuitable. Applicants unwilling to work on a project funded externally with no claim to a regular JIPMER post should avoid applying.

Working with JIPMER, a prominent medical institute, and on an ICMR-funded project offers significant prestige and valuable experience in clinical research, particularly in diabetes intervention. This position provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a randomized control trial (DIVINE) and enhance one's research portfolio. While it's a contract role, the experience gained from a project involving a reputable funding agency and institution can be a strong foundation for future research or public health careers, albeit without immediate long-term institutional security.
