Senior Health Economist

This role is ideal for highly qualified medical or non-medical professionals holding postgraduate (MD/MS/DNB/MPH) or doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in health-related disciplines. Candidates must possess at least three years of research experience in areas like health technology assessment, public health, or epidemiology, coupled with strong computer application and data management skills. Individuals seeking a challenging, contract-based project role within a prestigious national research institution will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals who do not possess the specified postgraduate or doctoral qualifications, or those lacking the mandatory three years of relevant research experience, should not apply. This is a purely contract-based project position, thus unsuitable for candidates seeking permanent government employment. Applicants who fail to submit their application in the prescribed format or do not adhere to the email submission guidelines (e.g., specific PDF naming convention, email subject line) will face rejection.

JIPMER is a highly reputed national institution for medical education and research, operating under the Government of India. This Senior Health Economist position offers exceptional exposure to DHR (Department of Health Research) projects focusing on Health Technology Assessment, providing a significant contribution to public health research at a national level. While the role is contract-based, it offers valuable experience and extensive networking opportunities within a prestigious academic and research environment. Long-term career progression and stability would primarily depend on project extensions and future opportunities within the research domain.
