TATA MEMORIAL CENTRE ACTREC Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

This role is ideal for highly motivated M.Sc. graduates in Life Sciences with an exceptional academic record (80% or equivalent CGPA) who are passionate about translational research, specifically in 'DNA damage repair and cancer'. It suits individuals seeking a short-term, project-based research opportunity within a prestigious national institution to gain invaluable experience.

Candidates whose M.Sc. degree was obtained through a one-year course are explicitly ineligible. Individuals looking for a permanent employment position or those who do not meet the stringent academic percentage requirement should not apply. The contractual nature and specific research area make it unsuitable for those seeking long-term, diverse research roles.

ACTREC, as part of the Tata Memorial Centre and a grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge cancer research. While the role is contractual for six months (extendable based on performance), it provides an excellent platform for scientific exploration and professional growth, significantly enhancing future academic and research career prospects in a highly reputable environment.
