Project Research Scientist III

This role is ideal for highly qualified medical professionals holding an MBBS and an MD in Psychiatry, coupled with at least three years of relevant post-qualification experience. Candidates with a strong research inclination in AI-driven mental health solutions, especially those interested in contributing to ICMR-funded projects focusing on diagnostic innovation for common mental disorders, will find this opportunity particularly fitting. The position offers an attractive fixed monthly emolument and the chance to work in a leading medical institution.

Individuals lacking an MD in Psychiatry or the requisite three years of post-qualification experience should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position should note that this is a contractual, project-based role with an initial six-month tenure, extendable up to four years based on performance. Candidates who prefer traditional clinical roles over research-intensive, AI-focused projects might find this less suitable.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, a premier medical institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. This role provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to an important ICMR-funded project using AI for mental health, enhancing a candidate's research portfolio and expertise in a rapidly evolving field. While contractual, successful performance could lead to extensions and open doors to future high-profile research or academic positions.
