NIMS Project Technical Support-II Rheumatology 2026

NIMS Project Technical Support-II Recruitment 2026: Overview

Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), the state-run medical university at Panjagutta, Hyderabad, needs a Project Technical Support-II for a genetics research study in its Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology. The project is titled "Genomic Profiling and Identification of Targetable Shared Immunopathogenic Events in Multiplex Families with Autoimmune Diseases" — in simple words, it studies families where several members live with autoimmune diseases to find shared causes that treatment could target.

This is a project-based, temporary engagement, not a regular NIMS post. The pay follows ICMR guidelines for project staff, and the job suits a lab technician with an MLT/DMLT background or a life science graduate who already has some hands-on laboratory experience and wants research exposure at a large teaching hospital.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Two routes to qualify: You can apply with Class 12 in Science plus MLT/DMLT and a longer track record, or with a three-year life science degree and a shorter one. The experience rule differs for each route, so check which one fits you.
• Temporary only: The appointment is purely temporary, and you get no right to claim a regular appointment at NIMS.
• Performance-linked tenure: Your continuation runs with the project and is subject to performance appraisal.
• Notice period: The engagement can end with one month's notice or one month's pay in place of notice.
• Part-day work: If the project needs you for only part of each day, your pay is reduced in proportion; NIMS explains this at the interview.
• Age relaxation: Reserved-category candidates get relaxation as per Institute norms; the notice does not list the years.
• No travel allowance: NIMS pays no TA/DA for attending the interview or for joining.

Application Submission Notes

Fill in the prescribed application format (Form-B) attached to the notification and attach attested copies of certificates backing every detail you give. Send it to The Dean, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Panjagutta, Hyderabad - 500082.

Write the notification number on the sealed cover. The notice sets a relative closing rule — applications must reach NIMS within 15 days of the notification's publication — so post yours early. The interview is likely in the last week of October 2026.
