About CSAMP "Shaping Tomorrow’s Wellbeing — Today." Every child deserves to be understood, creating a generation that’s not just educated, but emotionally resilient and self-aware. CSAMP (Child Support, Assessment & Monitoring Program) is a next-generation, research-driven initiative redefining how we understand child wellness. The program brings together five powerful pillars — Neurodiagnostic, Metabolic, Genetic, Behavioral, and Emotional sciences — into one integrated framework that measures and nurtures the true potential of every child. Our mission is to combine cutting-edge science, AI, and holistic wellness to help schools and families identify each child’s unique biological, emotional, and cognitive blueprint — ensuring they grow into balanced, resilient, and high-performing individuals.

This role is open to PhD candidates or fresh PhD graduates in neuroscience, psychology, genetics, metabolic biology, or health sciences who are eager to bring their research to life in a real-world social innovation. Alternatively, we welcome professionals with strong experience in health operations, child wellness, or healthcare program management who can integrate multidisciplinary teams into a single operational flow. Location Our core development team is based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, where the program design, data analysis, and R&D activities are conducted.
