SCTIMST Project Nurse III P5508 Recruitment 2026

SCTIMST Project Nurse III Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is recruiting Project Nurse III staff for an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) funded heart-failure study. Project P5508 examines how non-specialists can use evidence-based heart-failure management in primary care across India.

The institute is part of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. This engagement connects the coordinating centre at SCTIMST with participating community health centres (CHCs), bringing the research into local primary-care settings.

The notice specifically encourages applicants who can work at CHCs in Kozhikode or Wayanad districts. You should therefore view this as a field-linked project appointment, with district travel, rather than assume that your work will stay within the institute's Thiruvananthapuram campus.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project contract: The initial appointment lasts six months. An extension may run until 30 September 2030, but the engagement ends earlier if the project finishes. The possible extension is not a guaranteed term of service.
• Work setting: Project activities involve participating CHCs and coordination with SCTIMST. You must be prepared to travel within the district for the study, as stated in the notice.
• Reserved posts: The notice allows consideration of unreserved applicants if suitable applicants from the specified EWS, OBC or SC categories are unavailable. This is a stated condition of this project recruitment.
• Reservation claims: Your claim to a reserved post depends on valid certification in the format used for Central Government institutions. The issuing revenue officer must be at least of Tahsildar rank.
• Recruitment communication: SCTIMST will send the online interview schedule to the email address entered in your application. Keep that address accessible so you can receive the institute's communication about this project appointment.

• Identify study participants at participating community health centres.
• Collect project data from each participating centre.
• Enter study data in the REDCap application.
• Help SCTIMST identify participants for qualitative interviews.
• Arrange venues for project workshops.
• Help the research team organise study logistics.
