Junior Research Fellow JRF

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with a strong academic background in relevant life sciences (e.g., B.S. 4 years, BPharm, MBBS, Integrated BS-MS, MSc, BE/BTech) and a valid NET/GATE qualification. Candidates with a keen interest in cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry research, particularly related to breast cancer, will find this project highly engaging. The position is temporary and project-based, suitable for those looking for focused research experience in a prestigious institution.

Candidates without a NET/GATE qualification or the specified essential degrees (B.S. 4 years, BPharm, MBBS, Integrated BS-MS, MSc, BE/BTech with 55% marks) should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, project-based role unsuitable. Those unwilling to work on a time-bound research project or interested in purely clinical roles may also find this unsuitable.

ACTREC, part of the Tata Memorial Centre and a grant-in-aid institution of the Department of Atomic Energy, is a highly reputed centre for cancer research and treatment in India. A Junior Research Fellow position here offers significant exposure to cutting-edge research, advanced laboratory techniques, and a strong academic environment. While the role is contractual, it provides an excellent foundation for a career in scientific research and can serve as a stepping stone for further academic pursuits like PhDs or post-doctoral fellowships at prestigious national or international institutions.
