JIPMER Recruitment 2026: Apply for 01 Junior Research Fellow / Project Associate 1 Post

This role is ideal for highly qualified postgraduates in basic science or professional courses who have successfully cleared National Eligibility Tests (like CSIR-UGC NET, GATE) or other Central Government national-level examinations. Candidates should possess strong skills in image processing, computer vision (using libraries such as OpenCV and scikit-image), AI/Machine Learning for image analysis, and biostatistics. A good publication record in high-impact journals and conferences is desirable. The position is well-suited for individuals seeking to contribute to a cutting-edge medical research project on cervical lesion detection and are comfortable with a contract-based, project-specific role.

Individuals primarily seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contract-based position for a specific project with no claim to regular JIPMER posts. Those without a Post Graduate or Professional degree selected through the specified national eligibility tests are not eligible. Candidates uncomfortable with image processing, AI/ML applications in medical imaging, or biostatistics will find this role unsuitable. The role is limited to a maximum of three years, so it's not for those looking for long-term job security in this specific role.

Working at JIPMER, a renowned central government institution for medical education and research, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-impact scientific projects. This contract position provides valuable research experience in AI-based medical diagnostics, enhancing a candidate's profile for future academic or research roles. While not leading to a permanent JIPMER position, the project's advanced nature and institutional backing offer excellent opportunities for professional growth and networking within the scientific community.
