Project Research Scientist

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate degree holders in Public Health, Psychology, Social Work, Sociology, Nursing, Life Sciences, or Rural Development, particularly those with an integrated PG and PhD. Candidates with good communication skills in Tamil and English, and prior research experience in emergency care or qualitative research at the state level, will be highly suitable for this project-based role at JIPMER, focusing on emergency care systems in India.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a purely contract-based project role with a maximum duration of two years. Candidates lacking essential postgraduate qualifications or proficiency in both Tamil and English communication will not be considered. Those who are unable or unwilling to travel to urban and rural health facilities in Pondicherry for data collection should also refrain from applying.

JIPMER is a highly respected institution for medical education and research in India, recognized for its contributions to healthcare and academics. While this is a contract-based project role, it offers valuable experience in a significant national health research initiative funded by ICMR. This position provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to public health research and gain exposure to high-impact projects, which can significantly enhance a research career trajectory within a reputable institutional framework.
