Advt. No.: IITJMU/R&C/RP00105/A-01 Dated: 07/04/2022 

Applications are invited from the interested candidates for the post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) to work on the project titled “Evolutionary optimization of cellular resources and a codon optimization method inspired by natural selection” sanctioned by Department of Biotechnology, India. 

Area of Specialization Biophysics/computational Biology 

3 years 

Rs. 31000/ for the first two years and Rs. 35000 in the third year (Per month plus HRA as per GoI norms) 

Minimum Qualification: 

 Essential Qualification: 

 M.Sc (Physics) or M. Tech (Computational Biology/Bioinformatics) or equivalent with first division at all levels starting from secondary education for essential qualifications. 

 Essential qualification from a recognized technical institute/university as a full-time program. 

 Preference may be given to the candidate having appropriate knowledge of data visualization and analysis software and report writing. 

 Desired Qualification: 

1. A good knowledge of any programming language 

 Upper age limit: 30 years 

Brief Objective of Project: Protein synthesis is a resource-intensive process and thus requires the efficient use of protein synthesis machinery. However, the exact mechanism of resource optimization is not well understood. In this project, using computer simulations and big biological datasets, we plan to study the optimization of cellular resources in protein synthesis. 

Job Description: The selected candidate is expected to use Matlab or similar programming language for protein synthesis simulation. Writing reports/papers and active participation in the group meeting or journal club are also expected. 

Application Process: Duly filled application form along with the requested details, scanned copies of certificates, other supporting documents, should be uploaded through the online portal (https://apply.iitjammu.ac.in/#/home) latest by April 25, 2022. 

Please apply through the [contract/project staff/JRF/SRF] tab on the referred application portal. Candidates who are already employed should produce a relieving certificate from their employers if selected. The interview will be conducted for all shortlisted candidates. "The selected candidate will be encouraged to apply for the PhD program if he/she satisfies all the criteria for PhD admission. However, the candidate can only be selected through the regular admission process for the PhD program at IIT Jammu."
