Applications are invited for a Senior Research Fellow (SRF) position on SERB, Govt. of India funded
project (CRG/2020/003399) ‘Astroglial specific biotin deprivation in aging brain influences
mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis’ at the Centre for Biotechnology, Anna University,
Chennai – 600025.
Minimum Eligibility First class in Masters (M.Sc. or M. Tech.) in any branch of life sciences /
biological sciences. However, the applicants with M. Sc., as qualifying
degree must have two years of research experience.
Project/work tasks
Major aim of this project is to elucidate the significance glial-neuron
metabolic relationship during aging with special reference to BCAA, lipid
and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism.
Furthermore, the status and
mechanism of mitochondrial turnover pathways such as mitophagy as
well as the association between organelles will be deciphered.
Our relevant publications: https://doi.org/10.1111/jnc.14979,
10.1007/s12192-020-01129-6, 10.1016/j.nutres.2020.06.004,
https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.202000187
The major role of the SRF will be planning, execution and analysis of
cell biology and biochemistry experiments.
Experience in both standard
and advanced methods in biochemistry and cell biology are required to
carry out this project. Practical knowledge in Western blot, Cell culture,
Histology, Imaging, Flow cytomtery, with theoretical knowledge on
HPLC and LC-MS will be an advantage.
Experience in the use of basic
bioinformatics tools will be a plus. Thus, the SRF is expected to be
independent and willing to do PhD with the responsibility to publish
his/her research findings. Furthermore, the SRF will collaborate with
other labs at local as well as national levels.
The SRF is expected to train/supervise the students from Bachelor-level
