Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad, is a premier statutory state autonomous super-specialty hospital and medical university located at Panjagutta, Hyderabad. The contractual project team operates under an ICMR-funded clinical and translational research initiative focused on nephrology, kidney transplantation, and patient outcomes. Daily responsibilities include coordinating clinical trials, patient follow-up in medical wards, biological sample handling, maintaining regulatory documents, and conducting biostatistical analysis. The hospital environment is high-throughput, multidisciplinary, and clinically intense, requiring strong coordination with clinicians, trial investigators, and patients.

The position is purely temporary on a contract basis initially for 1 year, extendable on an annual basis subject to satisfactory performance and availability of project grant funds from ICMR.

The post does not carry any claim for regular appointment, permanent absorption, or absorption into regular institute establishment.
