Vacancy Details

The notice lists 7 posts in total, across three post types. All of them are for the same project, with the same funding agency, Project Investigator and likely duration.

Who Can Apply

The notice gives each post its own essential and desirable requirements, listed below. All three posts have the same age rule: a maximum of 40 years as on the last date of receipt of applications (6 November 2026), with relaxation as per GoI guidelines.

Two rules apply to every post. The qualification and experience must be in a relevant discipline/field and from a reputed institution/organization. The experience must have been gained after getting the essential qualification.

The notice says this project position may be considered for the extramural project PhD stream.

Pay and Tenure

All the posts pay a consolidated monthly amount and no other allowances. The notice also says the consolidated salary may vary from time to time, and no allowance or facility will be given beyond it. Each post has a likely duration of three years.

The posts are purely on contract for an externally sponsored project. The person engaged will have no claim to any regular post in JIPMER at any time.
