JIPMER Senior Project Assistant (Research Assistant/MSW) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Contract Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals with a Bachelor's or Postgraduate degree in Social Work, Sociology, Pharmacology, Life Sciences, or Nursing, coupled with specific experience in clinical research, particularly in Oncology or related health areas. Candidates should possess strong communication, counseling, and computer skills, with proficiency in local languages being a significant advantage. This position suits those looking for a short-term, impactful contract role within a reputable medical research environment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contract-based project position with no claim to regular JIPMER posts. Those without the specified academic qualifications or the mandatory clinical research experience (at least one year) will not be considered. Applicants who cannot commit to the project's likely duration of 1 year and 3 months, or who prefer a role with extensive allowances beyond a fixed consolidated salary, should also look elsewhere.

Working at JIPMER, an institution of national importance, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's resume, especially in the medical research field. While this is a project-specific contract role, it provides excellent exposure to a critical health initiative ('Tele-Consultation Program Designed for Local Need-based Cancer Survivorship Care') funded by ICMR. This experience can be a strong stepping stone for future roles in public health, clinical research, or academic research, offering professional growth within specialized domains.
