Requirement for Junior Research Fellow/Research Specialist – Gene Therapy
Applications are invited from interested candidates for immediate requirement to work as technical specialists (3 Positions) under projects to develop gene therapy vectors for inherited disorders.
Name of the post: Research Specialist – Gene Therapy
Duration: Initially for 3 years and can be extended. A minimum commitment of 3 years is necessary for these positions.
Qualifications: M.Sc./M.Tech in any branch of biology or biotechnology. Bachelors degree holders with more than 5 years of relevant laboratory experience may also be considere
Experience required: Candidates
with prior laboratory experience in one or more of the following techniques
is mandatory:
·
Mammalian cell culture, transfection, aseptic
techniques
·
Plasmid production, bacterial culture, quality control
·
Molecular biology techniques including cloning, PCR,
QPCR, etc.
· Biochemistry techniques including protein isolation, immunoblotting,
tissue staining techniques and microscopy.
·
Chromatography techniques including IEX, affinity,
experience with AKTA.
·
Previous experience with viral vectors, cloning
mammalian genes, bioreactor culture, animal handling and animal tissue experiments
is preferred.
· Experience with animal studies including mice or rabbits.
The
role: The post holders will be primarily responsible to perform different
vector production related techniques under strictly aseptic conditions
including cell culture, molecular biology, chromatography, vector transduction
in vitro and in vivo (animal models), plasmid production, quality control,
bio-banking and participate in all the laboratory activities. The post may
require some travelling when required for experiments to be performed at core
facilities. Opportunities for pursuing a PhD degree may be provided depending
on performance and interest.
Other selection criteria:
· A team player
with excellent communication skills, including the ability to write scientific
text and present data
· Experience of
working in a research team and contributing ideas for new research projects.
Salary: Salary will be INR 48000 consolidated per month for
first 6 months. Upon confirmation based on satisfactory performance, further increments
will be offered.
Interested and eligible candidates may apply with their bio-data including
names of two referees willing to independently provide reference letters if
