Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute, Lucknow has issued two official advertisements for Field Investigator positions under Department of Health Research funded projects. One vacancy is under the Health Technology Assessment in India (HTAIn) project and the other is under the Costing of Health Services in India (CHSI 2.0) project. Together, these notifications account for 2 Field Investigator posts.
The official notices were published on the institute recruitment page on April 8, 2026. Both posts are temporary project-based positions and both applications have to be submitted by email along with the filled application form before the deadline. The notices also confirm the pay, age limit, essential qualifications, and the fact that only eligible candidates will be called for interview.
One important point is that the source topic describes this as apply online, but the official documents specifically instruct candidates to send the application form by email. So applicants should treat this as an email-based application process rather than a portal-based online form.
KSSSCI Field Investigator Recruitment 2026 Overview
KSSSCI has released two separate Field Investigator advertisements under DHR-ICMR funded public health projects. The institute recruitment page shows one post for the HTAIn project and one post for the CHSI 2.0 project.
Because both notices were issued on the same date and both are for the same post name, many job summaries are presenting them together as 2 Field Investigator vacancies. That is a fair summary, but candidates should still read the post-wise differences carefully, especially the salary and qualification wording.
