Project Research Scientist, Lab Technician & Other Posts

This recruitment is ideally suited for candidates with a strong academic background, ranging from 10th pass with relevant diplomas and experience to MBBS/PhD/PG degree holders in medical, scientific, social science, or administrative fields. Individuals seeking temporary, project-based contractual roles within a government research institute will find these positions appealing. Candidates with prior experience in public health projects, data management, computer applications, and a willingness to work in rural/tribal areas will be highly preferred. Specific roles are available for medical professionals, scientists, lab technicians, data entry operators, and administrative assistants.

Candidates looking for permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are purely temporary and co-terminable with the project. Those unwilling to work on a contract basis or expecting a traditional recruitment process with a formal examination might find this unsuitable, as selection is based on a walk-in-interview. Individuals who do not meet the specific educational qualifications and experience mentioned for each post, or are unable to attend the walk-in interview on the specified date, will be disqualified.

Working with ICMR-NITHR, an institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant public health and tribal health research. While the roles are contractual, they provide exposure to national-level projects (e.g., ADOPT, PMECRG, Sickle Cell Diagnostic Laboratory). These positions can serve as a stepping stone for career growth in public health research, offering an opportunity to gain experience in a prestigious government research environment. However, long-term stability and career progression within the organization are not guaranteed, given the temporary nature of the roles.
