Project Research Scientist II

This role is ideal for medical graduates (MBBS/BDS) with at least three years of post-qualification experience, or those holding a Post Graduate Degree (MD/MDS), who are passionate about project-based research in psychiatry. Candidates interested in studying DNA Methylome signatures, schizophrenia, and AI-driven cardio-metabolic risk prediction tools will find this opportunity particularly relevant. It suits individuals seeking to gain valuable research experience within a leading national medical institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual project-based position with an initial tenure of six months, extendable up to three years. Those without the specified medical degrees (MBBS/BDS) and relevant experience or postgraduate qualifications will not be eligible. This role is highly specialized, so applicants looking for general clinical positions or roles outside of psychiatric research would find it unsuitable.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, under an ICMR-funded project, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-level medical research. This position provides an excellent platform for career growth in medical research, particularly within psychiatry and genomics. While the position is contractual and involves only one vacancy, the experience gained will be highly valuable for future academic and research endeavors.
