NISER recognizes that modern scientific research is carried out in interstices amongst fuzzy domains and blurred boundaries. This entails encouraging a new scientific culture where members of our community attain to an intellectual agility unconstrained by the limitations of disciplinary conventions from the past. Faculty and Students will be given generous material support in the pursuit to realize this objective.
Applications from Indian/Foreign Citizens are invited for Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) positions under the project RIN4002-SBS-Basic Research in the Schools of Biological Sciences, NISER, Bhubaneswar, funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India.
Essential Qualifications : PhD degree in the relevant area of life sciences / Molecular Biology / Genetics / Genomics / Bioinformatics / Life Sciences / Zoology / Biotechnology etc.
Research Area : Understanding the pathogenesis of Pseudoexfoliation Glaucomaand developing a biomarker for early detection.

Laboratory Description : With the shifting demographics toward older age, there is a major concern for age-related disorders. 90% of individuals dying each year are due to age-related causes. Understanding the genome, epigenome, and proteome between these individuals’ healthy and diseased states pavesthe way for unraveling bio-markers for early diagnosis and/or therapeutics for various diseases. Our goal is to find these underlying players that change the micro-environmental niche differently in a diseased state during the developmental process of aging and, hence, are responsible for these age-related disorders. We are currently focusing on understanding the pathomechanism of two neurodegenerative eye disorders (Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible World Blindness,and Corneal Endothelial Dystrophies) as well as Cancer using a plethora of cellular, biochemical, genetics, genomics, and molecular biology techniques involving human samples, animal models as well as in vitro cell lines
