Scientist B & Lab Technician

This opportunity is ideal for medical and science graduates, particularly those with an MBBS, BDS, or B.V.Sc. degree with relevant experience for the Scientist-B position, or B.Sc./12th pass with a diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology for the Lab Technician role. Candidates with research and teaching experience in microbiology or viral diagnostics, eager to contribute to a State-Level Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL) under the prestigious AIIMS Bhubaneswar, will find this role highly suitable. Individuals seeking a short-term, contract-based engagement with potential for extension within a renowned government medical institute should consider applying.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are contractual positions with a fixed tenure of one year, extendable up to five years. Those unwilling to work in a dynamic research and diagnostic environment or without the specific medical/laboratory qualifications and experience outlined will not be suitable. Individuals expecting TA/DA for the interview will be disappointed as it is not provided.

Working at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, a statutory body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, offers significant institutional prestige and exposure within a leading medical research environment. While the positions are contractual, they provide valuable experience in viral research and diagnostics, which can be a strong asset for future career growth in public health, medical research, or related fields. The project-based nature offers an opportunity to contribute to critical public health initiatives.
