TMC Senior Resident Geriatric Oncology Recruitment 2026

TMC Senior Resident Geriatric Oncology Recruitment 2026: Overview

Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), a grant-in-aid institution under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, is looking for a Senior Resident in Geriatric Oncology. The post sits in the Department of Medical Oncology at Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, one of the country's busiest cancer hospitals. Geriatric oncology focuses on cancer care for older patients, who often need treatment plans adjusted for age, other illnesses and daily function.

This is a fixed-tenure residency, not a permanent job. The engagement runs only up to 31 July 2027. TMC is filling it through a walk-in interview in hybrid mode, so you can attend either in person in Mumbai or online. The notice (advertisement TMC/ACAD/143A/2026) was issued by the Director (Academics) on 15 September 2026, which leaves a very short window to get ready.

The post suits medical oncologists and physicians who want hands-on experience in caring for elderly cancer patients at a national referral centre. Doctors with a background in geriatric medicine or general medicine are also considered, and prior work in oncology is preferred.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Nationality: Only Indian nationals can apply.
• Tenure: The residency is for a fixed period and ends on 31 July 2027.
• Pay: The monthly amount is a consolidated gross figure that depends on whether you hold a DM/Dr.NB or an MD/DNB degree.
• Experience: At least one year of experience in oncology is preferred, though it is not listed as a strict requirement.
• Place of work: Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel, Mumbai.
• Interview format: The interview runs in hybrid mode. You choose between appearing physically at the Parel campus or joining virtually; the virtual route works only if your documents reach TMC by email before the cut-off a day earlier.
• Documents at the interview: Carry originals along with attested copies of every qualification and experience certificate if you attend in person.

Application Submission Notes

There is no online form. If you are attending in person, report between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM on 18 September 2026 at the Office of the Director (Academics), Homi Bhabha Block, 13th Floor, Room No. 1301, Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. The interview starts at 10:00 AM.

If you want to join through the virtual (hybrid) mode, email your CV and all certificates to resident-acad.tmh@tmc.gov.in by 3:00 PM on 17 September 2026. Send questions to the same email address.
