SGPGIMS Neonatology Project Scientist Recruitment 2026

SGPGIMS Project Research Scientist Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow is hiring Project Research Scientists and a Project Technical Support staff member for its Department of Neonatology. The posts belong to an ICMR-funded project that is building a compact, sterile, automated machine to prepare Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) for babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units, and then testing it in the lab before it reaches patients.

This is a rare medical-device team inside a hospital department: one doctor, two engineers and a design technician will work together on the same prototype. The project is led by Dr. Kirti Naranje, Professor of Neonatology. If you are an engineer who wants to work on real healthcare hardware, or a doctor interested in neonatal research, this drive is worth a look.
