Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Environmental Sample Collection Specialist works under the Department of Community Medicine at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (Dr. RMLIMS), Lucknow for the UNICEF-sponsored research study 'LEAD-UP (Lead Exposure Assessment and Detection in Uttar Pradesh)', led by Prof. (Dr.) C. M. Singh (Director & Principal Investigator). The primary duty involves rigorous on-site field visits across urban and rural clusters in Uttar Pradesh to collect environmental specimens (soil, paint, drinking water, spice samples) and coordinate biological sample handling to assess lead exposure risks. Fieldwork requires adherence to cold-chain sample preservation, contamination-free handling, maintaining chain-of-custody documentation, and community interaction.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The position is purely temporary, contractual, and co-terminus with the project, with an initial tenure of 2 months. Stationed at Dr. RMLIMS Lucknow with extensive local and regional field travel. The engagement carries zero claim or entitlement for regular absorption or permanent appointment in Dr. RMLIMS.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Being a short-term 2-month UNICEF-funded research assignment, there is no departmental cadre promotion hierarchy. However, completing field epidemiology and toxicological sample collection on a prestigious international public health project (UNICEF / Dr. RMLIMS) provides valuable credentials for subsequent recruitments in ICMR, WHO, AIIMS, and state public health laboratory projects.
