Regional Ayurveda Research Institute Senior Research Fellow (Ayu.) Recruitment 2026: 14 Vacancies

This role is ideal for Ayurvedic practitioners with a BAMS degree who are keen on research. Candidates holding higher qualifications like MD/MS (Ayu) and possessing prior research experience, particularly in projects funded by government bodies such as AYUSH, ICMR, or CSIR, are highly preferred. Strong scientific writing skills and publications will be a significant advantage. This position suits individuals looking for contractual research engagements in a government-backed institution.

Candidates without a BAMS degree are ineligible. Those seeking permanent government employment should note this is a purely contractual position, initially for six months with performance-based extensions, offering no claim for regularization. Individuals without any research aptitude or interest in scientific documentation might find this role less suitable. The maximum age limit of 35 years (as of 01.01.2026) is a strict criterion, though relaxations apply for reserved categories.

The Regional Ayurveda Research Institute (RARI) operates under the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. This affiliation provides a respectable platform for contributing to traditional Indian medicine research. While the role is contractual, it offers valuable experience in government-funded research projects, which can be a stepping stone for future academic or research careers in Ayurveda. The institute's accreditation by NABH also speaks to its commitment to quality and safety, enhancing the professional value of this experience.
