AIIMS NDDTC Project Technical Assistant III Recruitment 2026 - 4 Posts

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi has released a notice for contract Project Technical Assistant III positions under Research Study T-317 at NDDTC. The study is about factors linked with drop-out among clients on Opioid Substitution Therapy, and it is a cross-sectional, multi-site study in Punjab supported by the Punjab State AIDS Control Society. This is a short project appointment for 3.5 months, so it is best suited for applicants who can join quickly and work in field/data collection settings.

The project is implemented by NDDTC, AIIMS New Delhi, with field work connected to Punjab sites. The notice mentions the study support of the Punjab State AIDS Control Society and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of Punjab, so the work is closely linked with public health, substance-use treatment services, and field-level research data.

This is one combined listing because the official PDF covers all 4 positions under the same Research Study T-317 notice and the same last date. Do not treat the Punjab and NDDTC positions as separate notifications; they are part of the same AIIMS NDDTC project recruitment.

Vacancy Breakdown

• Project Technical Assistant III at NDDTC, AIIMS Ghaziabad: 1 position
• Project Technical Assistant III at Punjab data collection sites: 3 positions
• Total: 4 positions

Punjab field sites mentioned in the notice are Ludhiana/Moga, Tarn Taran/Amritsar, and Morinda/Mohali.

Work location note: the notice refers to the duty station as NDDTC, AIIMS (Ghaziabad) and data collection sites in Punjab. You should be ready for work connected with Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, depending on the position assigned after selection.

Who Can Apply?

Educational Qualification

• Graduate route: You can apply with a graduate degree in Psychology or Humanities and 3 years of post-qualification experience.

Qualification tip: if you are applying through the graduate route, your 3 years of post-qualification experience should be clearly visible in the CV. If you are applying through the post-graduate route, mention your specialization, dissertation, research exposure, and any mental health, community work, or addiction-treatment exposure.

Preferred experience is important for this role because the study works with clients on Opioid Substitution Therapy. If you have experience with public health projects, harm reduction work, drug-use intervention programmes, counselling support, field interviews, or community-based data collection, mention it in simple, factual language.

Age Limit

• Maximum age: 35 years.
