SCTIMST Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Project Research Scientist III (Non-Medical)

This role is ideal for experienced Engineering Graduates (Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, Biomedical) with a strong background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), particularly those holding a PG Degree or Ph.D. in related fields. Candidates from OBC or SC categories are especially encouraged to apply due to the backlog nature of the vacancy. The position suits individuals keen on contributing to research on medical device evaluation within a prestigious national institute.

Candidates without a relevant four-year engineering degree or the specified post-qualification experience in CFD should not apply. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment might find the initial temporary/contractual nature of this project-based role (until 2026, extendable to 2029) less appealing. Fresh graduates without significant experience will also not be suitable.

Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology is an Institution of National Importance, offering a high-prestige environment for medical research and technological development. While the position is project-based and temporary, it provides valuable experience in cutting-edge biomedical research funded by ICMR, significantly enhancing a candidate's profile for future opportunities in research and development, particularly in the public sector or academia.
