Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with a strong background in basic sciences or professional courses, who have qualified through national eligibility tests (NET/GATE) or other central government selection processes. Candidates must possess a minimum of 2 years of dedicated research experience, particularly with hands-on skills in genetic, molecular, NGS, microbiome/metabolome data handling, and programming languages. Individuals seeking to contribute to cutting-edge research in pediatric surgery and immunology within a prestigious medical institution will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates lacking the mandatory 2 years of research experience, or who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (postgraduate in basic science or professional graduate/postgraduate degree through national exams), should not apply. Those looking for a permanent government position will find this contractual role unsuitable. Furthermore, applicants without proficiency in relevant laboratory techniques and data handling skills may struggle to meet the project's demands.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, offers significant prestige and exposure within the medical and research community. While this is a contractual project-based role, it provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in a cutting-edge, DBT-funded research project. This experience can be highly beneficial for future academic or research career progression, especially for those aiming for advanced research positions or PhD studies in related fields. The project's focus on chronic kidney disease in children with congenital uropathies is a critical area of research with potential for impactful scientific contributions.
