Project Research Scientist II, Project Research Scientist I & Other Posts

This recruitment is ideal for skilled professionals and fresh graduates seeking contractual, field-based roles in public health research with a reputable central government institution. Candidates with qualifications in Dental Surgery (MDS, BDS), Public Health, Statistics, Biostatistics, IT, Computer Science, Social Work, or related fields, coupled with relevant epidemiological data collection, research management, programming, or administrative experience, are well-suited. The roles require extensive travel across India for house-to-house surveys, making it suitable for individuals who are flexible, adaptable, and committed to contributing to national health initiatives.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or office-based roles in Delhi should not apply, as these positions are temporary and contractual for field work. Those unwilling or unable to travel extensively across different states of India, or who cannot manage self-funded travel expenses (reimbursed later) should also refrain from applying. Candidates expecting advance payment for travel or a fixed posting location will find this unsuitable. The inability to work under contractual terms (initially till March 2027) is a dealbreaker.

Working with AIIMS, a prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences, on a project under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, offers significant institutional prestige. These contractual roles, while temporary, provide invaluable experience in a large-scale national public health survey (National Oral Disease Burden Survey). This experience can substantially enhance a candidate's profile for future research, public health, or academic positions, demonstrating a direct contribution to national health policy. Long-term career progression or permanent absorption within AIIMS is not explicitly stated or guaranteed by this specific notification.
