Research Officer

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding Master's or PhD degrees in Public Health or related social science disciplines, who possess at least two years of dedicated research experience. Candidates should be proficient in English, Hindi, and Odia, capable of multi-state travel, and seeking an impactful, albeit contractual, opportunity in HIV surveillance and epidemiology within a prestigious government institution. It suits those aiming to gain significant public health research experience.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with full benefits (PF, pension, medical claim, etc.) will find this role unsuitable, as it is a purely temporary contractual position. Those unwilling to travel extensively across different states or who do not meet the minimum two years of research experience post-qualification should not apply. Candidates expecting a fixed-term contract longer than 12 months with guaranteed renewal should also be aware that extension is subject to performance and fund availability.

Working as a Research Officer at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, a nationally renowned institution under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, offers a high level of prestige and significant professional exposure. This contractual role, focused on HIV surveillance and epidemiology, provides invaluable experience in a critical public health domain. While temporary, the project-specific work enhances a professional's resume, opening doors to future research and public health opportunities within government or non-governmental organizations. The experience gained here holds substantial long-term value for career progression in public health research.
