Project Technical Support & Fieldworker

This role is ideal for candidates with a Master's degree in Public Health, Public Health Nursing, MSc in Public Health Nursing, or MSW (for Project Technical Support - III), or a Bachelor's degree (B.Sc. Nursing, B.Sc. MLT) or Diploma (GNM, ANM) along with relevant field experience for the Project Technical Support - I / Fieldworker positions. Strong communication skills in Tamil and English, proficiency in MS Office, and the ability to work in community-level projects are essential. Candidates seeking short-term, project-based work within a prestigious medical institution will find these roles suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely contractual positions for a limited duration of 7 months. Those without the specified educational qualifications or relevant field experience, particularly the mandatory 1 year for PTS-III, will not be suitable. Candidates unable to operate a two-wheeler or without a valid driving license will also be at a disadvantage for roles requiring field travel.

JIPMER is a highly reputed, autonomous institution under the Government of India, offering a valuable opportunity to gain experience in a research project funded by ICMR. While the positions are contractual and short-term (7 months), working with JIPMER on an ICMR-funded project adds significant prestige and valuable experience to a professional's resume, particularly for those interested in public health and community-level research. However, it does not guarantee long-term career progression within JIPMER.
