Advertisement for the posts of Project Scientist-I in a DBT, GOI-funded research project at Bioinformatics Centre, NEHU, Shillong
Ours is a DBT-BTISNet centre focussing on Biodiversity
Informatics in north east India and it serves as an information base in various
aspects of Biodiversity related to computational biology. Some of our important
areas of research are molecular characterization and genome diversity in plants
and helminth parasites of medico-veterinary importance with a focus on
foodborne trematodiases. Extensive work on evolutionary bioinformatics and
phylogenomics of foodborne trematodiases specific to the region, next
generation sequencing and analysis of selected trematodes, orchids and
carnivorous plants has also been established. Our earlier achievements/findings/leads
from these above-mentioned projects will form the basis/pillars of the model
network project “Biodiversity Informatics: North-east India Bio-Bank of
Codes Network (NIBBCoNet): Bioinformatics Centre @NEHU, Shillong” The
project will be a North-east India centric project in national network mode.
Applications with complete bio-data and a covering letter (SOP) from candidates possessing the required qualifications are invited for the following research position in the DBT, GOI-funded project National Network Project of North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong".
Duration: 5 Years
Posts:
1. Project Scientist-I (1 no)
Qualifications: Doctoral Degree in (Animal/ Plant Sciences/Life
Sciences/Biotechnology/Bioinformatics/Biological Anthropology/Microbiology) or
CSIR-NET qualified candidates those who have submitted Pre-PhD thesis final
colloquium with minimum one research publication or Master’s Degree in
Engineering or Technology from a recognized University or equivalent.
M.Tech/M.Sc. in Computational Biology/Bioinformatics/Life Sciences from National Institutes of repute (IITs, IISERs, NISER, NITs) with 8 years’ research experience will also be considered.
Desirable: Candidates having 2 years’ experience in Research & Development in Industrial and Academic institutions or Science and Technology Organisations in Next generation sequencing data analysis with advanced bioinformatics knowledge will be given preference only.
Emoluments: As per DBT sanction
order and DST, GoI guidelines (https://serb.gov.in/assets/pdf/o_c/OM-Manpower%20other%20than%20JRF%20SRF%20RA.pdf)
We are deploying evolutionary models to study molecular and translational aspects of biodiversity research. We will utilize these systems to uncover molecular mechanisms for studying the past, present and future of biodiversity. The project focuses on unravelling the mysteries of life both flora and fauna in close collaboration with several Investigators in the country.
The successful candidates will interact within a multidisciplinary
environment of biologists, and computational scientists. The candidates are
expected to work in close association with a diverse team to formulate hypotheses
and validate predictions using genomic and transcriptomic assays.
Research Responsibilities:
- Set
up bioinformatics platforms and develop computational pipelines for the
analysis of biodiversity heterogeneous datasets.
- Use
computational techniques to published / unpublished biological data
for the analysis and interpretation of omics datasets.
Your profile:
- Exceptional
self-motivated computational research fellow with a strong analytical
background and strong inclination towards natural sciences.
- Previous
exposure to and experience with bioinformatics as well as interests in
molecular aspects of biodiversity research
- Due
to the interdisciplinary framework and close collaboration with wet-bench
scientists, communicative skills (both spoken and writing) are essential
Only serious and eligible candidates as per their
biodata accompanied by the covering letter will be called for interview
(online/offline). Your covering letter needs to be a natural one and thought
provoking which will help us in taking a decision in your favour
Age
limit will be as per DBT sanction order and rules.
DBT Sanction order No. BT/PR40263/BTIS/137/80/2023
The
applications may please be submitted in the email devbioinfo@gmail.com
within 15 days from the date of publication of this advertisement. The
advertised posts are purely temporary for the duration of the project and
subject to availability of the funds from DBT. The appointment does not confer
any entitlement or right over the posts for absorption in the University
service.
