Opening For: Scientist B and C at NIOH, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Company profile: This Institute started as “Occupational Health Research Institute” (OHRI) in the year 1966 and was re-christened as “National Institute of Occupational Health” (NIOH) in 1970 presently located in the Eastern part of Ahmedabad. Two Regional Occupational Health Centers (ROHCs) were started at Bangalore in 1977 and at Kolkata in 1980. The major objectives of the Institute and its centers are to identify and mitigate the occupational and environmental health problems in the country. The tools used for this purpose are research, education and information dissemination. Epidemiological studies are used as the gold standard in occupational and environmental health and experimental studies are done as and when necessary. Most of the epidemiological studies need a multi disciplinary approach for which infrastructure facilities and trained manpower have been developed at the Institute. Besides clinical work, environmental monitoring for toxic agents in the working and community environment form an integral component of various studies. At present, the Institute has the state-of-art analytical facilities for metals, pesticides, persistent toxic substances and other chemicals. Molecular biology facilities and other laboratories are also being upgraded.
