The broad aims of this project includes 

(a) How does three-dimensional chromatin architecture impact the basic biological processes such as DNA replication and DNA repair? 
(b) How does that influence the generation of somatic mutations at specific regions of the genome? 
And 
(c) Can those mutations affect the local chromatin architecture and thereby cause any phenotypic effects?

 Experience with mammalian cell culture, stable cell line generation and molecular biology techniques such as Western blotting, Cloning, immunostaining, DNA/RNA extraction and quantification, and high throughput assays to understand DNA-protein interactions and gene expression. 

Experience with genome editing techniques (e.g., CRISPR/Cas) is a plus. A strong interest to develop and implement single-cell genomics approaches and data analysis will be preferred. 

Duration: Initially one year, which is extendable upon evaluation. 

Salary: As per the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India guidelines.
