They are a premier research institute with all the necessary facilities that a research scientist may need. Research interests of their faculty lie in the frontier areas of biology. The talent and drive of their students and faculty continues to show us the way to good science.
Research at NCBS (a part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) uses experimental and computational approaches to the study of molecules, cells and organisms. They aim to understand biology at each of these levels to advance an integrated view of life processes.
Post: Post-Doctoral Fellowship
Programme description
The National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in Bangalore, India, and the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, announce joint postdoctoral fellowships called NCBS-inStem-CRG Postdoctoral Fellows Program.
This programme aims to attract post-doctoral fellows of any nationality to link ongoing collaborations between researchers at the NCBS-inStem and the CRG to develop new research directions. The primary goal of this program is to provide a unique training experience to postdoctoral scientists who aspire work at the interface between fundamental, interdisciplinary areas of biology with the possibility of applying pioneering technology to creating applications and new research tools.
Eligibility criteria

* Candidates must provide at least two reference letters
b) Completeness of the proposal, i.e. the presence of all requested information (including reference letters)
c) Receipt of the proposal before the deadline
