TATA MEMORIAL CENTRE ACTREC Genetic Counsellor Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for individuals holding a graduate or postgraduate degree in genetic counseling, human genetics, or life sciences, combined with relevant post-qualification experience. Candidates passionate about contributing to a cutting-edge ICMR-funded research project focused on Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and who are adept at patient counseling, data interpretation, and maintaining ethical compliance in a clinical research setting, will find this opportunity suitable. The position is well-suited for those looking for contractual research roles with the potential for extension.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a project-based contractual role of initially six months, extendable based on performance. Candidates without the specific educational qualifications in genetic counseling/human genetics or related life sciences, or lacking the stipulated post-qualification experience (minimum 1-3 years depending on qualification), will not meet the eligibility criteria. Those primarily interested in purely clinical roles without a research component may also find this less suitable.

Working at Tata Memorial Centre (ACTREC), a grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, offers significant prestige and exposure within the field of cancer research. While this is a time-bound project position, it provides valuable experience in a renowned institution, enhancing a candidate's profile for future research or specialized clinical roles. The project itself focuses on critical genetic research, offering the opportunity to contribute to a high-impact study and collaborate with leading clinicians and researchers, paving the way for professional growth in a specialized domain.
