JIPMER Project Research Scientist I POICE Recruitment 2026

JIPMER Project Research Scientist I Recruitment 2026: Overview

Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) is hiring a Project Research Scientist I for its Medical Oncology department in Puducherry. The contract supports POICE 2024, an ongoing trial funded by the National Cancer Grid and led at JIPMER by Prasanth Ganesan.

The study examines post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy after interval cytoreduction in epithelial ovarian cancer. It is a randomized phase III trial involving several centres, so your work sits within a shared research programme rather than a study confined to a single hospital.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: This engagement depends on external project funding. It does not give you a claim to a regular JIPMER post, either during the contract or afterwards.
• Likely tenure: The notice describes a likely duration of five years. This is not a guaranteed term: the Project Investigator can extend or shorten the engagement, and it remains tied to the project.
• Recruitment discretion: The Principal Investigator may change or relax the stated terms. If applications are numerous, the team may use stricter criteria when deciding whom to call.
• Accuracy of your information: False details or attempts to influence recruitment can lead to rejection. If discovered after appointment, they can also end your engagement.
• Interview arrangements: The investigator may choose an in-person meeting or videoconferencing. For a remote meeting, you must arrange a suitable device with audio, camera and a reliable internet connection.
• Travel costs: JIPMER will not cover travel or daily expenses for attending the interview.
