Research Positions in Tomato Functional Genomics
At the Repository for Tomato Genomics Resources, we are working on Tomato Functional Genomics, using TILLING, Insertional Mutagenesis, proteomics, metabolomics approaches to study fruit ripening in tomato. The current aims of the group include using reverse and forward genetics strategies to isolate tomato mutants delayed in ripening, having high lycopene and folate content in tomato fruits and analysis of light and hormonal signal transduction pathways. For recent publications of the group see (Plant Physiol 161: 2085–2101, Plant Physiol 156: 1424-1438; Molecular Plant 3: 854-869; Plant Methods 6: 3;Plant Methods 5:18; Plant Signaling and Behavior 5:11.).
Currently we have 3 positions available in the projects awarded to Prof. R.P. Sharma and Dr. Y Sreelakshmi under “Tomato Metabolome Network” (ToMaNet) funded by Dept of Biotechnology. The qualifications for these Research Positions are as follows:
Research Assistant: Applicants should have experience in networking using R language and should be able to develop networks using the trancriptome, proteome and metabolite data sets. M.Tech. in Bioinformatics is required. The selected candidate would be paid Rs. 13,000/-pm- consolidated.
Lab Assistant I and II: Applicants should have interest in gene cloning and in generating transgenic plants using RNAi and/or overexpression strategies. M.Sc. in any branch of Life Sciences is required. Selected candidates would be paid a consolidated pay of Rs. 8000/-pm.
Candidates interested in above positions should send a one page statement clearly explaining how their skills are relevant to the position. The candidates should also enclose detailed CV and the name/email id for three referees. The candidates can send their application by email at rameshwar.sharma@uohyd.ac.in and y.sreelakshmi@uohyd.ac.in on or before Sept 30th, 2013. All the positions are purely temporary in nature. Shortlisted candidates would be called for interview. No TA/DA would be provided for attending the interview. We also have openings for CSIR-NET JRF candidates for pursuing PhD in above research areas.
Interested candidates can send their CV to the above email addresses.
