Applications from Indian nationals are invited for one Project Fellow to work on a plant biology project "Exploring the role of splice variant of CONSTANS, the key regulator of photoperiodic flowering time control in Arabidopsis" funded by DBT, in the School of Biological Sciences, NISER.

The work involves combination of molecular genetics cloning, qRT PCR, biochemistry and microscopy to understand the fundamental importance of the splice variant of CONSTANS in controlling the photoperiodic flowering. The work involves to understand the Diurnal and Circadian oscillation of transcripts in different light regimes in one hour resolution in 24 and 48 hrs light dark cycle, therefore the selected candidates are expected to meet the demand of this circadian research and expected to be highly motivated.

PROJECT FELLOW-I:

QUALIFICATION: M.Sc. (minimum 55% marks) in Life Sciences/Biotechnology/Microbiology/Zoology/Botany/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology/Physiology/ or any other similar stream in Biosciences. Candidates with a good track record with over all CGPA above 7.5 and in ther final year of MSc, receiving their grades by the date of Interview, can also apply. It is desirable that the candidate has already got some hand-on training in handling, molecular biology and biochemistry problems.

FELLOWSHIP: 12.000/- + HRA as per DBT rules

AGE: 28 years as on closing date of application, age relaxation as per DBT rules.

Last Date of Receipt of Application: 15.04.2014.

The position is strictly co-terminus with the project and therefore do not confer any right! claim, implicit, or explicit for consideration/absorption against any NISER post.

Interested candidates should submit an application duly filled in all respect in the performance only, as available in page 2 & 3 of this document with recent passport size photograph pasted on it to "The Administrative Officer-III (R&D), NISER, Institute of Physics Campus, P. O. - Sainik School, Bhubaneswar-751005". Original documents should be produced at the time of interview. The selection will be made on the basis of interview of suitable candidates and date will be communicated to the shortlisted candidate later. Candidates are requested to superscribe the advertisement No. i.e. advertisement No.: NISER/DBTlBL 101610412014" and the name of the post on the top of the envelope.
