Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) Project Research Scientist Recruitment 2026

ACTREC is a Grant-in-Aid Institution of the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, and functions under the Tata Memorial Centre in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. The institute has released notification ACTREC/Advt-156/2026 for a Project Research Scientist – III (Non-Medical) post in its Department of Clinical Biostatistics. The role is attached to a Phase I clinical trial project evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated KFD (Kyasanur Forest Disease) vaccine developed by the Human Biologicals Institute. This is a project-based engagement for an initial period of 6 months, which may be extended depending on how your work progresses. ACTREC works closely with Tata Memorial Hospital on translational cancer research, so this role also gives you exposure to a wider clinical research environment beyond the specific vaccine trial. Statisticians and biostatisticians with clinical trial experience will find this a strong opportunity to work on active vaccine research at a premier institute.

Who Can Apply?

You need to meet one of the following two qualification routes to be eligible:

• Qualification (Route 1): Post Graduate Degree (including an Integrated PG degree) in Statistics or Biostatistics, with 5 years of post-qualification experience
• Qualification (Route 2): PhD in Statistics or Biostatistics, with 2 years of post-qualification experience
• Desirable: Hands-on experience managing clinical trial data using EDC (Electronic Data Capture) software
• Desirable: Proficiency in statistical analysis using SAS, R, or similar statistical software

This role is aimed at candidates who already have working experience in clinical trial statistics — it is not an entry-level or fresher position. If you have handled clinical trial datasets before and are comfortable with statistical software, your application will stand out.

Salary

• Selected candidates will get a consolidated salary of Rs. 1,01,400 per month (Rs. 78,000 basic pay + 30% HRA).
• This is a project-based consolidated pay package — the notification does not mention any additional allowances beyond the HRA already included in this figure.

ACTREC will select candidates in two stages:

1. Document Screening: Your CV, certificates, and experience documents will be checked against the eligibility criteria listed above.
2. Online Interview: Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted by email with the interview date and timing. The interview itself will be conducted online.

There is no written test or group discussion in this process, which keeps the overall timeline fast — useful if you are looking to join quickly.
