ICMR Young Professional II Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is hiring a Young Professional-II for its Research Integrity work at headquarters in New Delhi. The notice comes from the Informatics and Data Centre, under the Department of Health Research in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. This is a contractual engagement connected with the council's research integrity work, so you would join a specialist research support setting.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Your engagement starts with a one-year term. An extension may be considered when the work needs it and your performance supports continuation.
• Early closure: ICMR can end the contract earlier for unsatisfactory work or misconduct. You should read this condition alongside the stated initial tenure when deciding whether the arrangement suits you.
• Notice period: Either you or ICMR may end the engagement by giving one month's notice. The notice presents this as a condition that applies during the engagement.
• Employment status: This appointment gives you no claim to a permanent or regular ICMR job. It also gives you no right to continue working under another project after this engagement ends.
• Work station: The assigned work station is ICMR Headquarters, New Delhi. The notice identifies Research Integrity as the area in which the Young Professional-II will work.
• Travel costs: You must meet your own travel and daily expenses for attending the walk-in, personal discussion or any written test. ICMR will not reimburse these costs.
• Accuracy of information: False or incorrect information can disqualify you at any point. This applies to information shared during the walk-in and personal discussion as well as your application.
• Outside influence: Trying to influence shortlisting or appointment, directly or through someone else, can lead to disqualification. ICMR also says this can result in exclusion from the selection process.
• Recruitment changes: ICMR may change the number of openings to match its needs. It may also accept or reject an application or withdraw the advertisement without giving a reason.
• Official updates: Any later amendment will appear on ICMR's website. The notice says there will be no separate press announcement, so you should check the official updates before travelling.
