All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi - Project Staff Recruitment 2026 - 4 Posts

The Centre for Community Medicine at AIIMS, New Delhi, under Dr Rakesh Kumar, Additional Professor, has invited applications for 4 project posts to work on a 2-year clinical research study (Project Code: N-2607) that looks at how an Ayurveda regimen can support Anti-Tuberculosis Treatment (ATT) and improve nutrition, body weight and quality of life in adults with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis. The study is an open-label randomised controlled parallel-arm clinical trial, which means selected staff will get real exposure to a structured, protocol-driven clinical research environment. Fieldwork will happen in Faridabad, Haryana, with the project team stationed at CRHSP Ballabhgarh, AIIMS' rural health training centre. This is a good opportunity for candidates in Ayurveda, medical social work and lab technology who want hands-on clinical research experience at one of India's top medical institutes, and who are comfortable working as part of a small, focused field team.

All 4 posts are purely temporary and project-based, and run only for the duration of the study — that is, up to 2 years from the date of joining, or until the project ends, whichever is earlier.
