JIPMER Research Scientist II Medical IMPACT NCD 2026

JIPMER Project Research Scientist II Medical Recruitment 2026: Overview

Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) is recruiting a Project Research Scientist II (Medical) for its IMPACT-NCD study in Puducherry. The Department of Preventive and Social Medicine runs the project under Dr. Subitha L, with funding from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The appointment is tied to an externally funded research project.

The IMPACT-NCD study focuses on physical activity and community nutrition as ways to prevent non-communicable diseases. Its implementation approach brings together different sectors and study centres. You would join a project that connects public-health research with work carried out across those participating centres.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: The likely duration is 3 years. The post lasts only within the project and depends on continued external funding.
• No regular appointment claim: Taking up this contract does not give you a claim to a regular JIPMER post. Consider it as a project-specific research engagement when planning your next move.
• Change in tenure: The project investigator can extend or shorten the engagement. The likely project duration therefore does not guarantee an appointment for the whole period.
• Travel: The application asks whether you are willing to travel to field locations and other study centres. You should consider this expectation alongside the Puducherry base.
• Interview expenses: JIPMER will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview.
• Accuracy and conduct: False information or attempts to influence recruitment can lead to disqualification. If discovered after appointment, these may also lead to termination.
