TATA MEMORIAL CENTRE ACTREC Recruitment 2026: Project Research Scientist-I Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and experienced researchers holding a Post-Graduate Degree (excluding 1-year M.Sc.) with 5-6 years of specialized experience in cancer biology, chemical biology, nanomaterials, and preclinical/molecular imaging. Candidates who have submitted their PhD thesis in a related field and are awaiting degree award are also encouraged to apply, provided they possess the requisite experience and strong analytical and presentation skills. It suits those seeking a project-based research position in a leading cancer research institution.

Candidates with only a 1-year M.Sc. degree or those awaiting their Post-Graduate degree results are not eligible. Individuals without specific experience in cancer biology, chemical biology, or related imaging techniques will find it difficult to qualify. Those seeking a permanent government position or long-term employment beyond a six-month extendable contract should reconsider, as this is a project-based contractual role.

ACTREC, a part of the TATA MEMORIAL CENTRE and a grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, offers a prestigious environment for cancer research. While this is a contractual project-based role, it provides valuable experience within a renowned institution, enhancing a researcher's profile. Long-term growth directly within this specific role is limited by its project nature, but the exposure and research output can be significant for career progression in oncology research.
