AIIMS Delhi is seeking a qualified and motivated individual to join the Ocular Pharmacology & Pharmacy Division as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF). This temporary position is part of a high-impact research project led by Principal Investigator Prof. T. Velpandian. The role offers a competitive monthly salary of approximately ₹39,370, which includes a basic pay of ₹31,000 plus a 27% House Rent Allowance (HRA). The contract is initially set to run until July 2026, with the possibility of extension based on project requirements and performance. This recruitment is specifically open to residents of the Delhi and NCR region who are under the age of 30.

Candidates must possess an M.Sc. in Life Sciences or an M.Pharm from a recognized university. A critical requirement for this role is at least one year of hands-on experience in sample processing and the operation of sophisticated analytical instruments such as HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and LC-MS/MS. The selected fellow will be responsible for handling research samples, conducting pharmaceutical testing, documenting experimental data, and supporting the broader research team in ocular pharmacology studies.

The application process is flexible, offering three distinct submission routes: an online Google Form, email submission of a CV to [email protected], or in-person/postal delivery to the Dr. R.P. Centre at AIIMS New Delhi. Selection will involve an initial screening of applications followed by an interview for shortlisted candidates. Since the position is purely project-based and co-terminus with the funding grant, it represents a significant opportunity for early-career researchers to gain experience at one of India’s premier medical research institutions. All applications must be submitted by February 17, 2026, to be considered for this specialized research opening.
