JIPMER Scientist II IMPACT NCD Recruitment 2026

JIPMER Project Research Scientist II Recruitment 2026: Overview

Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) is recruiting a Project Research Scientist II (Non-Medical) for the IMPACT-NCD study in Puducherry. The Department of Preventive and Social Medicine is running this Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) funded project under Dr. Subitha L. The study brings physical activity and community nutrition together as part of an effort to prevent non-communicable diseases.

The IMPACT-NCD project connects public-health research with implementation across study sites. If you join, your appointment will belong to this externally funded research project, with field travel forming part of the engagement.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: The likely project duration is 3 years. Your engagement depends on the project and its external funding, so it does not create a claim to a regular JIPMER post.
• Field travel: The application asks whether you are willing to travel to field locations and other centres connected with the study.
• Recruitment decisions: The project investigator has the final say. A large response may lead to stricter shortlisting criteria than the basic requirements.
• Accuracy: False information or canvassing can lead to rejection. If discovered after appointment, it can also lead to termination.
• Travel costs: JIPMER will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview.
