ACTREC Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 Advt 209

ACTREC Project Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), the research and treatment wing of Tata Memorial Centre at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, is hiring a Project Assistant through a walk-in interview under advertisement ACTREC/ADVT-209/2026. ACTREC is a grant-in-aid institution of the Department of Atomic Energy, so this is a well-known name to have on your CV.

The post is attached to a research project titled "Association of HDAC expression with treatment response in rectal cancer patients after Neoadjuvant therapy". In simple words, the study looks at how levels of HDAC enzymes in tumour samples relate to how well rectal cancer patients respond to treatment given before surgery. This is a short project engagement, not a regular post — it suits life-science graduates who want hands-on cancer research experience in a leading lab.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project-based engagement: The post runs for four months only and is tied to the HDAC rectal cancer project, so it ends with the project term.
• Consolidated pay: The monthly amount is a fixed consolidated sum, so do not expect the usual pay-matrix allowances.
• Lab skill is a must: Expertise in protein biochemistry is mandatory, on top of the one year of experience the notice asks for.
• No result-awaited candidates: If your B.Sc. result is still pending, you cannot apply for this post.
• Recognised degree only: Your B.Sc. in Life Sciences or Basic Biological Sciences must come from a Government-recognised institution.

Application Submission Notes

There is no online form for this post. You simply walk in on the interview day and report at 3rd Floor, Khanolkar Shodhika, ACTREC, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai - 410210.

Reporting is open only from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., so reach the campus early — late arrivals may not be entertained. Carry your recent CV, original certificates with photocopies, a passport size photograph and an ID proof, preferably your Aadhaar card.
