ACTREC Recruitment 2026: Interview and Post Overview

The supplied information gives the walk-in schedule but does not establish a separate application deadline, an application fee or selection stages beyond the interview. Candidates should distinguish the reporting window from the interview date: both matter when planning attendance.

ACTREC and the Oral Cancer Research Project

The Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer is part of the Tata Memorial Centre and is based at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. It is described as a grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. This position supports research into the failure of immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapies in oral cancer and possible alternatives for Indian patients. Dr. Subir Biswas is the Principal Investigator. Applicants should assess their laboratory background against the experience requirements for this project.

Project Technical Support III: Position and Pay

Eligibility: Qualification, Laboratory Experience and Age

The stated age limit is 30 years. An age calculation cut-off date is not available in the supplied information. The educational qualification and laboratory experience are separate essential conditions; meeting the marks requirement alone does not satisfy the experience requirement.

• Essential educational qualification: An M.Sc. in Life Sciences or an equivalent qualification, with a minimum of 60% marks in the qualifying examination, is required.
• Essential laboratory experience: Applicants must have at least one year of wet lab experience as well as direct experience with murine cancer models. Both elements form part of the stated requirement.
• A one-year M.Sc. degree is excluded. The qualification title and marks should therefore be considered together with the course duration.
• Candidates awaiting their results are ineligible because the selected candidate is required to join at the earliest.

General preparation guidance: review your qualification, marks, course duration and experience before arranging travel. For example, a hypothetical applicant who meets the academic requirement but has no direct experience with murine cancer models would still fall short of the stated experience condition. Avoid treating general laboratory exposure as a substitute for a specifically required type of experience.

Interview Date and Reporting Window

Project Tenure, Extension and Remuneration

• The initial engagement is for six months on the research project.
• Work progress will be monitored, and an extension may be granted after six months. Continuation is a possibility rather than an assured part of the initial tenure.
• The monthly consolidated amount is Rs. 36,400. Its stated components are Rs. 28,000 and 30% HRA; the HRA is already included in the total.
• The place of work is ACTREC, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. Candidates should consider the location and initial tenure when assessing the opportunity.
