TATA MEMORIAL CENTRE Recruitment 2026: 02 Project Associate – I (R&D Unit) Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly skilled researchers with a Master's in Natural Sciences or a Bachelor's in Engineering/Technology/Medicine, possessing specialized experience in immuno-engineering techniques, viral vector handling, cell culture, or animal handling. Candidates seeking a focused research opportunity within a prestigious government-aided cancer research institution on a project related to oncolytic vectors for solid tumor treatment would find this particularly appealing.

Individuals without specific research experience in the mentioned areas (molecular cloning, gene editing, viral vector, cell culture, or animal handling in preclinical tumor models) should not apply, as prior experience is strongly preferred. Candidates seeking long-term permanent employment or a role outside a contract-based research setting may also find this unsuitable due to the initial 6-month fixed-term duration.

Tata Memorial Centre is a highly reputable, grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, known for its significant contributions to cancer research and treatment. A role here offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research and strengthens one's profile in the scientific community, despite the contractual nature of this specific position.
