Senior Consultant Scientific Medical

This role is ideal for highly experienced medical or scientific professionals, particularly those with a minimum of 12 years of post-qualification experience in their specialized field. Retired government employees who previously held positions at Pay Level-10 or above with relevant experience are also encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates possessing expertise in genetic counselling, genetic testing services, and prior involvement in research projects. The age bracket of 40-70 years specifically targets seasoned experts.

Candidates lacking the mandatory minimum of 12 years of post-qualification experience, or those outside the 40-70 age bracket, should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, short-term position (maximum 5 years) unsuitable. Those without a medical degree (MBBS or equivalent) or relevant advanced qualifications will not meet the essential criteria.

ICMR-NIRWOH is an esteemed national institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, offering a highly reputable platform for scientific contribution. This Senior Consultant role provides an opportunity to leverage significant expertise in a prestigious research environment. However, its contractual nature and limited tenure (up to 5 years or age 70) indicate a project-based engagement rather than a long-term career progression within the institution.
