Project Technical Support III vacancy and salary
ACTREC has advertised one project position. The selected candidate will work on the project titled “Understanding the mechanisms related to the incompetence of immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapies in oral cancer and alternatives for Indian patients.” Dr. Subir Biswas is named as the Principal Investigator in the notification.
The consolidated monthly remuneration is ₹36,400, comprising ₹28,000 plus 30% House Rent Allowance. The appointment is initially for six months and may be extended after review of work progress and project requirements. It is a project appointment, not a regular permanent post.
ACTREC Project Technical Support III eligibility criteria
Candidates must meet all the essential conditions below:
- Educational qualification: M.Sc. in Life Sciences or an equivalent qualification with at least 60% marks in the qualifying examination.
- Experience: At least one year of wet-laboratory experience.
- Specialised experience: Direct experience with murine cancer models is specifically required; general laboratory experience alone may not satisfy this condition.
- Course duration: An M.Sc. degree obtained through a one-year course will not be considered.
The notice does not list a substitute qualification for candidates who lack the required murine cancer-model experience. Applicants should therefore assess this condition carefully before travelling for the interview.
Age limit
The maximum age limit is 30 years. The advertisement does not provide a separate category-wise relaxation table or an alternative age cut-off date. Candidates who believe a relaxation applies should confirm it with ACTREC before attending.
