Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) is recruiting a Project Research Scientist-I in its Department of Biomedical Engineering. The position belongs to an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Intermediate Grant project involving IIT Ropar and the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The engagement runs for three years or until the project ends. Continuation is subject to an annual review of your performance, so the stated project duration is linked to both project continuation and performance.
• Immediate availability: The notice describes the position as available immediately. This is an opening within an ongoing funded research project.
• Possible later opportunities: The notice says you may be considered for alternative opportunities based on your performance on the project. This is a possibility, rather than a promised appointment after the project.
• Travel costs: If you attend in person, the institute will not pay a travel or daily allowance. Keep this condition in mind when arranging your visit.
