NIIMH SRF Botany Recruitment 2026: Overview
National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (NIIMH), Hyderabad, is engaging a Senior Research Fellow in Botany for its SAMPADA project. The project concerns the study and archiving of materials and practices associated with Ahara, Dravya and Acara rituals, with an inventory in digital and print form. This is a project-linked contract under the institute's intramural research programme, with provision to attend the recruitment exercise in person or online.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial tenure: The appointment is initially for six months. Its continuation depends on your performance and the needs of the project, so you should treat it as a limited project engagement.
- Changes to tenure: The competent authority at NIIMH Hyderabad can shorten or extend the contract according to project requirements and individual performance. The initial period does not create an assurance of an extension.
- Nature of appointment: The role is entirely contractual and tied to the project. The notice rules out a claim to regular appointment, and the engagement can end under its contractual conditions.
- Travel expenses: NIIMH will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending. You should account for your own travel arrangements if you choose to visit the institute.
Application Submission Notes
Send your application material to niimh.recruitment@gmail.com using the institute's prescribed bio-data format. The email submission closes at 5:00 PM on the application deadline shown on this page.
You can attend at NIIMH Hyderabad or through the online mode described in the notice. If you visit the institute directly, report by 10:00 AM; choosing the physical mode does not replace the notice's advance email requirement.
For online attendance, NIIMH sends the interview link and timing by email ahead of the recruitment day. Use a working email address so you can receive those details; the link-dispatch date is separate from the application closing date.
