Project Research Scientist II

This role is ideal for highly qualified post-graduates (MD/DNB, Master's in Clinical Psychology/Social Work with 3 years' experience, or PhD in a relevant field) seeking to contribute to a significant public health research project. Candidates should be self-motivated, willing to work on a temporary contractual basis, and comfortable with field visits and regional coordination within India.

Individuals looking for a permanent government position or those without the specified advanced degrees and relevant experience should not apply. The role is temporary (initially 6 months, extendable), and candidates must be prepared for that tenure. Those unable to meet the age limit of 40 years as of the interview date will also not be suitable.

Working with AIIMS Bhubaneswar, a premier medical institution under the Ministry of H&FW, Govt. of India, offers significant academic and research prestige. This project-based role provides valuable experience in national-level public health surveys, which can enhance future career prospects in research, academia, or public health sectors, particularly for those interested in substance use patterns. While contractual, it offers exposure to a high-impact project.
