AIIMS Deoghar Health Economist, Field Investigator 2026 – Apply by 05.12.2026

You can apply for these two AIIMS Deoghar jobs only by email, and the closing time is 5:00 PM on 05.12.2026. The jobs are a Health Economist (Scientist C level) and a Field Investigator on a project under HTAIn, short for Health Technology Assessment in India, which studies how well health treatments and technologies work and what they cost. The project is funded by the Department of Health Research (DHR). Send everything as one PDF to the Principal Investigator, the senior doctor who leads the project, because hard copies are not accepted.

Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

The notification does not mention an application fee.

Vacancy Details

Eligibility Criteria

In short: a Health Economist needs a Master’s with a health-costing focus plus either 2 or 6 years of health economics work, and the notice does not say which one counts for this post. If you sit between those two numbers, call the AIIMS contact in the notice before you apply.

Who Should Apply

• This is a project job, not a regular government post. It lasts 12 months, can be extended by up to one more year, and gives no right to a permanent job at AIIMS Deoghar, DHR or any other government body.
• You can be sent anywhere the project needs you, including rural areas and field sites, and private practice is not allowed.
• The Health Economist job suits someone with a health economics Master’s. The work includes planning HTA studies and writing reports and journal articles, and it pays the higher amount of the two.
• The Field Investigator job is mostly fieldwork: listing houses in study areas and interviewing people to collect data. It is open to science graduates with 3 years of experience, and to anyone with a Master’s or Pharm D.
• Think twice if you cannot travel for the test or interview. AIIMS pays no travel allowance, and an online interview is allowed only for valid reasons, at the Selection Committee’s choice.

Selection Process

In short: you apply by email, AIIMS checks your eligibility, and only shortlisted people are called on 10.12.2026. The notice does not say whether there is a written or skill test along with the interview, or how marks are given.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, the Health Economist gets Rs 67,000 a month plus house rent allowance, and the Field Investigator gets Rs 30,000 to 32,000 a month. The notice does not say what decides where the Field Investigator’s pay falls within that range.

How to Apply

1. Check that you meet the qualification, experience and age limit for your post in Annexure-I of the notification.
2. Get the application form. It is Annexure-II at the end of the notification, and the notice says it can also be downloaded from www.aiimsdeoghar.edu.in.
3. Fill in the form, stick a passport-size photo on it, and sign it. The declaration at the end must be signed too.
4. Attach self-attested copies (copies you sign yourself as true) of your education certificates, experience certificates, indexed publications if any, and an NOC (No Objection Certificate, a letter from your present employer allowing you to apply) if you work somewhere now. Join everything into ONE PDF file.
5. Email that single PDF to seshadri.biochemistry@aiimsdeoghar.edu.in by 05.12.2026, 5:00 PM. Use the subject “Application for Health Economist/SCIENTIST C” or “Application for Field Investigator”, whichever post you are applying for.

Note: do not send a hard copy of your application. For questions, contact Mr. Chandan Kumar, Administrative Officer, HTAIn AIIMS Deoghar, on 7667893100.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Sending more than one file or a hard copy. The notice wants ONE PDF by email and says not to send hard copies.
• Writing a different email subject. It must read “Application for Health Economist/SCIENTIST C” or “Application for Field Investigator”.
• Missing that the form’s tick-boxes name only Health Economist and Scientist C / Research Officer. If you apply as Field Investigator, write that post name clearly on the form and in the subject line.
• Counting your age on the wrong day. Age is counted on 05.12.2026, the last date to apply, not on the notification date.
• Giving wrong details. The notice says misinformation can lead to legal action, and you can be disqualified at document verification even after clearing the selection.
• Asking anyone to influence the selection. The notice says canvassing of any kind leads to disqualification.
