Project Research Scientist

This role is ideal for dedicated postgraduates with 3 years of experience in relevant fields (Clinical Psychology, Public Health, Sociology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Epidemiology), or PhD holders, who are passionate about contributing to a significant behavioral therapy research project in India. Candidates seeking temporary, project-based work with a consolidated salary and HRA, and willing to work anywhere in India as per project requirements, will find this opportunity suitable. Experience in public health research with publications is a definite advantage.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with extensive benefits (like Provident Fund, LTA, Medical) should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based position. Those who have served in ICMR projects/institutes for more than three years are also ineligible. Candidates unable to provide original certificates at the time of verification, or those exceeding 40 years of age (without eligible relaxations), should not apply. Applicants should note that no TA/DA will be provided for attending the interview/written test.

Working with ICMR-NIHR offers significant prestige within India's top medical research body, providing exposure to a national-level project focused on a critical public health issue. While the position is temporary and subject to project funding, it offers valuable research experience and networking opportunities, enhancing one's professional portfolio significantly. However, long-term career growth directly within this specific project is limited due to its temporary nature.
