ACTREC Research Associate Advt 121 Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), under Tata Memorial Centre and the Department of Atomic Energy, has released ACTREC/ADVT-121/2026 for a project-based Research Associate post. The project title is Inter laboratory comparison program for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry (ILCP). This is a six-month project appointment and extension depends on satisfactory work progress.

Project fit matters: This notice is useful for applicants who already understand laboratory workflows connected with immunophenotyping, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics, or statistical analysis. ACTREC has specifically mentioned preference for hands-on work in Flow Cytometry, Molecular Diagnostics Technology, NABL accreditation documentation, and statistical data analysis. If your CV has these points, make them easy to see.

Who Can Apply?

• Mandatory Qualification: Postgraduate Degree in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biostatistics, or equivalent.
• Desirable Experience: One year of experience in Flow Cytometry or Molecular Technology.
• Preferred Skills: Hands-on Flow Cytometry, Molecular Diagnostics Technology, NABL accreditation documentation, and statistical data analysis.
• Work Location: ACTREC, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai.

Before attending: Check that your CV clearly shows the mandatory postgraduate degree and any desirable experience in Flow Cytometry or Molecular Technology. Since the notice asks for both original and Xerox copies of certificates, carry separate document sets so the verification step does not delay your interview.

What to highlight in your CV: Mention your postgraduate subject, laboratory techniques handled, instruments used, project documentation experience, and any quality-system exposure. The notice asks for 1 year of experience in Flow Cytometry or Molecular Technology as desirable experience, so include clear dates, employer or institute names, and the type of work handled.

Salary

• Consolidated salary: Rs. 33,000 per month.
• The notice does not mention separate allowances, so treat the pay as a consolidated project salary.
• Duration is six months and may be extended if the work progress is satisfactory.

Duration and extension: The first appointment period is six months. ACTREC has stated that work progress will be monitored, and any extension after six months will depend on satisfactory progress. This means your technical work, documentation, and project discipline matter throughout the assignment, not only during the interview.
