Application for the post of a JRF in a research project funded by the DBT, India
Title : Deciphering protein folding dynamics and cell mechanics ex vivo
This project aims to design protein constructs by systematically varying parameters that contrib- utes in the folding pathway, and quantify the effects at the single-molecule level using high- precision home-build Magnetic Tweezer. Further, we need to culture chick hair cells and meas- ure their mechanics ex vivo condition. The selected candidate is expected to focus on Instru- mentation, molecular Biology, and cell biology part initially depending upon interests, and even- tually explore the other aspect. The fellow will eventually be absorbed to a PhD program with mutual agreement.
Duration : One year and extendable upon evaluation.
Emoluments (year wise) : For JRF : INR 31000/ 31000/ 35000 + HRA (As per project norms)
Essential Qualifications : The applicants should hold a 5 yr master degree in Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Bi- ological Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, or 4 yr-engineering degree in any discipline. The candidate must have qualified GATE and/or NET to be considered for JRF.
It is essential that the candidates have strong interests in learning some of the state-of-the art single molecule techniques we routinely perform in lab using AFM and fluorescence micro- scope. Interested applicants should fill up Google application form from the attached link and upload a 1-page cover letter or SoP(describing their past accomplishments, research interests and how can they fit to our research in three paragraphs) along with their brief CV here.
