ACTREC Scientific Officer HLA Recruitment 2026

ACTREC Scientific Officer (HLA) Recruitment 2026: Overview

Tata Memorial Centre's Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, is looking for a Scientific Officer for its Transplant Immunology and Immunogenetics Lab, better known as the HLA lab. The post is filled by walk-in interview under advertisement OS-A/125/2026, and the job goes through an outsourced manpower services contractor rather than a direct Tata Memorial Centre appointment.

If you hold a master's degree in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology or a related life science and already have hands-on time in an HLA or molecular biology lab, this short contract is a practical way into one of India's best-known cancer research campuses. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) testing is the tissue-matching work behind stem cell and organ transplants, so the role suits someone who is comfortable with careful, repeatable bench work. The notice does not list day-to-day duties, so use the interview to ask what the lab expects from you.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Outsourced engagement: You will be on the rolls of the outsourced contractor and placed at TMC-ACTREC on contract; this is not a regular TMC post.
• Tenure: The contract runs for six months to start with and can be extended if the lab still needs the position.
• Experience after the degree: Your lab experience counts only if you gained it after completing your M.Sc or M.Tech.
• Age flexibility: The upper age limit may be relaxed for candidates with more experience, so a slightly older but well-experienced candidate need not rule themselves out.
• Pay within the band: Where you land in the consolidated pay band depends on your experience beyond the minimum eligibility.

Application Submission Notes

There is no online form for this post. Walk in to Meeting Room-210, 2nd floor, CCE Building, TMC-ACTREC, Sector 22, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai 410210 on the interview day.

Reporting is open only between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., so plan your travel to Kharghar early. Carry the documents the notice asks for, including originals along with self-attested copies of your certificates.
