JIPMER Research Project Recruitment 2026: Assistant Professor & Senior Resident (Multiple Vacancies)

This opportunity is ideal for medical professionals specializing in Psychiatry who hold a postgraduate qualification (MD or equivalent) and are seeking contractual research-oriented positions within a prestigious national institute. Candidates with 3 years of post-MD experience are particularly suited for the Assistant Professor role, while those newly qualified or with less specific experience may find the Senior Resident position suitable. The roles involve significant responsibilities in mentoring, specialist consultations, service delivery, and research within the TeleMANAS program. Individuals with desirable clinical and research experience in telemedicine and multidisciplinary team work, along with scientific publications, will have a distinct advantage.

This is a contractual position for a specific project duration (11 months) and offers no claim to regular employment at JIPMER. Candidates looking for permanent government positions or long-term job security should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a consolidated remuneration without additional allowances, or who do not meet the strict essential educational and experience criteria (especially the postgraduate qualification in Psychiatry), will find this role unsuitable. Individuals exceeding the maximum age limits (50 for Assistant Professor, 45 for Senior Resident) as of the application deadline are ineligible.

JIPMER is a highly reputed, centrally funded medical institution in India, offering significant prestige and exposure. While these specific roles are contractual and project-based, successful candidates will gain valuable experience in a leading research project (TeleMANAS) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. This experience can be a strong asset for future academic, research, or clinical careers, enhancing one's professional profile within the medical and public health sectors. Long-term growth directly within JIPMER is not guaranteed due to the contractual nature, but the institutional exposure is invaluable.
