NDMA Recruitment 2026: Apply for 01 Senior Consultant (Public Health in Disaster Management) Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly experienced public health professionals with a Master's degree in relevant fields (Public Health, Epidemiology) and a minimum of 5 years of experience in disaster management, emergency response, or recovery. Candidates with MBBS and specialization in Public Health/Community Medicine, or retired government officials with relevant experience and a strong background in public health emergency management, would be particularly well-suited. The position demands strong leadership, coordination, and communication skills, with a commitment to working full-time on contract for a central government authority.

Individuals lacking a Master's degree in the specified fields, or those without the mandatory 5 years of relevant experience in public health emergency management, should not apply. Candidates seeking permanent government employment might find the contractual nature of this role unsuitable. Those unwilling to be based in New Delhi and undertake travel to field locations should also reconsider.

Working with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), an apex-level institution chaired by the Prime Minister, offers significant prestige and the opportunity to contribute at a national level to critical disaster management initiatives. The role, though contractual, provides a platform for substantial impact on public health policy and implementation during emergencies, enhancing an individual's professional standing and expertise in a high-stakes domain.
