AIIMS Guwahati Project Associate-I/Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 – 1 Post

Yes, AIIMS Guwahati Project Associate-I/Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 is out. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Guwahati, has released Advertisement No. AIIM/GHY/PSY/2026/OUTWARD/824 for 1 contractual post under the Department of Psychiatry, engaged either as Project Associate-I or Junior Research Fellow depending on the candidate's qualification. This posting draws from a Psychology or Social Work academic background, distinct from AIIMS Guwahati's other recent postings such as the 5-post Research Scientist/SRF drive under the Department of Forensic Medicine (Advt CFM/2026/162). Candidates with an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology or Psychiatric Social Work — a desirable but not mandatory qualification — are likely to be considered more favourably, given the clinical/counselling nature typically associated with Psychiatry department research support roles. Eligible candidates can apply offline on or before 29 August 2026. Since the notification allows engagement at either the Project Associate-I or Junior Research Fellow level with a stipend difference between the two, candidates should clearly state their qualification level in the application to be considered for the appropriate designation and corresponding pay.
