Essential Qualification & Experience: Master’s Degree in Natural or Agricultural Sciences / MVSc or bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Technology or Medicine from a recognized University or equivalent. 

Desirable Qualification & Experience: Experience with working with Drosophila and running behavior assays for memory and other types of behaviour, brain dissections, immunostaining and genetics (setting up crosses to make combination of mutants, etc.), imaging (confocal and live calcium imaging). If candidates have experience of programing and doing cloning, it will be further beneficial. Work will involve long hours of recording courtship behaviour, and quantifying videos manually. Due to the time course of experiments including following memory kinetics post training, there will be numerous occasions where the candidates will need to work over the weekends and holidays. Candidates should be prepared for this. 

The candidates are expected to be driven by their own motivation for science, be fearless in their work, adventurous in spirit and honest and ethical with their behaviour.
