ACTREC Post Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview

Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), part of Tata Memorial Centre, is recruiting a Post Doctoral Fellow for a cancer therapeutics project at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. ACTREC is a grant-in-aid institution of the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The project focuses on the anti-apoptotic cFLIP-CaM interaction, with the aim of restoring tumour cells' sensitivity to death ligands.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The initial engagement lasts six months. You will join on a project contract, with the appointment linked to the research described in this notice.
• Progress review: ACTREC will monitor your work during the appointment. The contract may be extended, so continuation is a possibility rather than a confirmed part of the initial term.
• Interview attendance: If shortlisted, you can confirm whether you will attend in person or online. ACTREC prefers an in-person interview for local candidates.
• Individual communication: Only shortlisted applicants will receive an email with the interview date and timing. Further arrangements will be communicated according to the attendance option you confirm.
