SREE CHITRA TIRUNAL INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY Recruitment 2026: Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding an MD in Community Medicine or a PhD in Health Sciences, Statistics, Biostatistics, or Data Science. Candidates with a strong background in research, particularly those with desirable certifications in data management or health economic valuations, and two years of experience in large randomised controlled trials, will find this a fitting opportunity. It suits professionals looking for a temporary, project-based research engagement within a prestigious national institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary, contract-based position tied to a specific project. Those who do not possess the essential MD or PhD qualifications in the specified disciplines, or lack relevant research experience, will find themselves unsuitable. The role is not for fresh graduates without post-doctoral experience.

SCTIMST, being an Institution of National Importance under the Government of India, offers a highly prestigious environment for scientific research. While this is a temporary position, working on a significant project like 'TIME HF' provides invaluable experience and networking opportunities, significantly enhancing a researcher's profile and opening doors for future high-level academic or research careers in India and abroad.
