All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has kicked off a significant recruitment drive for contractual positions, announcing vacancies for Research Associates, Field Technicians and Field Workers. The notification, hosted on the official AIIMS website at aiims.edu, invites eligible candidates to apply online ahead of the stipulated deadline.
According to the recruitment advertisement, AIIMS is looking to fill approximately 300 odd positions spread across multiple departments and research projects operating within the institute. The posts are contracted in nature, meaning they are typically tied to specific funded projects and have fixed tenures rather than being permanent government appointments.
The Research Associate positions generally require candidates to hold a relevant postgraduate degree in life sciences, medical sciences or a closely related discipline, along with demonstrated research experience. Field Technician roles usually call for a diploma or degree in a technical field such as biology, chemistry or medical laboratory technology, depending on the project requirements. The Field Worker posts are more entry-level and often accept candidates with a 10+2 qualification or an equivalent stream, making them accessible to a broader pool of applicants.
While the detailed eligibility criteria for each post, the age relaxation rules and the application fee structure were outlined in the official notification, candidates are encouraged to visit the AIIMS careers portal carefully before submitting their forms. The selection process is expected to involve a combination of written tests and/or interviews conducted by the institute, followed by a document verification stage.
AIIMS remains one of India's premier medical institutions and its recruitment drives for support staff and research personnel are highly sought after due to the opportunity to work alongside leading doctors and scientists in a world-class research environment. Candidates who secure these positions gain valuable exposure to advanced medical research and clinical trials that take place at the national flagship hospital.
