These appointments form part of ICMR's biomedical and health research network under the Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

Posts and Disciplines

• Scientist-D (Medical): The stream focuses on the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases, public health and health systems. The notice identifies these areas as relevant to the institute's research needs.
• Scientist-D (Non-Medical): The stream focuses on biostatistics and data sciences within biomedical research. You should match your research background to this stream when considering the role.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Regular appointment: These are direct-recruitment appointments under ICMR. They are part of the Council's regular scientific workforce.
• Transfer liability: Although the advertised institute is in Bengaluru, your appointment carries all-India transfer liability under the Council. You should take this condition into account when considering the posting.
• Joining arrangements: If you work in a government department, public sector undertaking or government-funded research agency, your employer must undertake to relieve you within one month of receiving your appointment order.
• Provisional openings: ICMR may change the available positions. It also reserves the right to modify, cancel or issue the recruitment notice again.
• Details become final: You cannot request changes to registration details after registering or to application particulars after final submission. Check your entries carefully before confirming them.
• Duplicate applications: Sending duplicate applications can lead to cancellation of all your applications. The notice says ICMR will not send a separate message about such rejection.
• Later scrutiny: Acceptance of an online form does not mean ICMR has accepted every claim in it. Incorrect or hidden information can lead to cancellation, including after appointment, and may also lead to criminal proceedings.
• Conduct and disputes: Attempts to influence the recruitment can disqualify you. Disputes connected with this advertisement fall under the courts in New Delhi.
• Official communications: ICMR will place further recruitment communications on its website. Its decisions on accepting applications and assessing suitability are final under the notice.

Application Submission Notes

Printed applications do not replace the online form, and ICMR will not accept a downloaded copy as an offline application. Keep your final printout available because the Council may ask you to present it later.
