Young Professional II

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Biostatistics, Statistics, Demography, Population Studies, Public Health, or Medical Sociology with at least 55% marks and a minimum of one year of post-qualification experience in a related field. Candidates should possess strong scientific writing, systematic review, meta-analysis, and advanced statistical modeling skills (R, STATA). Experience with large-scale survey data analysis and data file construction, along with scientific publications, will be highly advantageous. It suits individuals seeking short-term contractual opportunities in a research-intensive environment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this role unsuitable, as it is purely temporary/contractual for an initial period of six months. Those without the specified postgraduate qualifications or the mandatory one year of post-qualification experience should not apply. Candidates unable to attend the walk-in-interview in New Delhi on 2nd September 2026, or unwilling to work on a consolidated salary without additional benefits like provident fund, should also refrain from applying.

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is a premier national organization for health research. While this specific 'Young Professional-II' position is contractual and for a limited duration, it offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience within a prestigious government research institution. It can serve as an excellent stepping stone for career development in public health, biostatistics, and data analytics, enhancing a candidate's profile for future research or government roles.
