The Government of India, through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), and based on the recommendation of Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, decided to create five undergraduate science universities. One of them is located at Kolkata and was started from 2006. Named as the INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (IISER), these IISERs are designed to reach the prestigious position in the global setting that IISc, IIMs and IITs presently enjoy.
Each IISER is an autonomous institution awarding its own degrees. The central theme of the IISER is to integrate education with research so that undergraduate teaching as well as doctoral and postdoctoral research work are carried out in symbiosis. Students are encouraged to carry out research projects during the vacation periods in the first four years of their Masters programme in various research institutes outside IISER.
Applications are invited from citizens of India for a research associate position for a DBT sponsored research project in the field of chemical biology of quadruplex nucleic acids undertaken within the group of Dr Jyotirmayee Dash, in the Department of Chemical Sciences, IISER-Kolkata. The position is initially for a period of 1Year and extendable on a yearly basis for three years (duration of the project) based on satisfactory performance. The project will explore G-quadruplex-directed therapeutic strategies such as telomere inhibition and regulation of gene expression using small molecule ligands with relevance to cancer biology.
Qualification required: Applicants should have (or be about to receive) a PhD in cell and molecular biology or other relevant area.
Desirable: Chemistry or biochemistry at the BSc/MSc level as one of the subjects.
Salary: Salary of Rs. 22,000 per month + 30% HRA
An enthusiastic applicant is required with a capacity to work effectively as part of an inter-disciplinary team. The post is available immediately. Interested candidates are requested to send their application to jyotidash@iiserkol.ac.in with a CV including publications list. Candidates are also requested to arrange for a minimum of two recommendation letters directly sent to jyotidash@iiserkol.ac.in
