All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh (AIIMS Rishikesh) Project Research Scientist Recruitment 2026

AIIMS Rishikesh has released a notification to hire a Project Research Scientist - I for the extramural research project titled "Studies of Heart & Kidney Protection with BI 690517 in Combination with Empagliflozin" — an international, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial studying the aldosterone synthase inhibitor BI 690517 combined with empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease. The project is a joint collaboration between the Department of Nephrology, AIIMS Rishikesh and GIS Pvt Ltd, Delhi, and needs manpower to help run the clinical trial smoothly. This is a purely contractual position, not a permanent AIIMS job — ideal for candidates with a nursing or medical lab technology background who are comfortable with patient sample collection, data handling and report writing. The initial contract is for 1 year from the date of appointment, extendable annually up to 5 years or till the project ends, whichever comes first, with your performance reviewed through an Employee Performance Indicator. AIIMS Rishikesh regularly runs such extramural research projects in partnership with pharmaceutical and research organisations, and this role gives healthcare professionals a chance to gain hands-on clinical research experience in a multicentre international trial setting. If you are a nursing or lab technology professional looking to build your profile in clinical research, this project offers valuable exposure to the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) protocols used in international drug trials.
