Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology Opening at Jamia Millia Islamia

Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at Aligarh in United Provinces, India in 1920 became a Central University by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1988. In Urdu language, Jamia means University, and Millia means National. The story of its growth from a small institution in the pre-independence India to a central university located in New Delhi offering integrated education from nursery to research in specialized areas is a saga of dedication, conviction and vision of a people who worked against all odds and saw it growing step by step.

Post : Project Technical Support-III (01 post)

Applications are invited from interested and motivated candidates for the post of Project Technical Support-III in a time-bound research project for a temporary period, purely on a contractual basis as per the following details.

Project Title : Investigating the effects of tyrosine phosphorylations in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lung cancer
Principal Investigator : Prof. Mohammad Mahfuzul Haque
Department and Institution : Department of Biotechnology, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi-110025
Project Tenure : One year (May be extendable up to three years based on yearly performance)

Project Description : Applications are invited from qualified candidates for the position of Project Technical Support-III to work on a project that focuses on the biology and chemistry of Nitric Oxide and its role in lung cancer. It aims to investigate structural alterations, functional changes, and pathway disruptions caused by specific iNOS mutations associated with lung cancer. Further, it will explore the impact of phosphorylation on iNOS catalytic efficiency, enzyme uncoupling, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and their collective contribution to lung cancer development. The study will employ biochemical and biophysical methods along with in vitro cell culture models to investigate tyrosine phosphorylation events in iNOS and their functional implications.

Essential Qualification : Three years graduate in any stream of Life Sciences/ Biotechnology/ Biochemistry/ Microbiology with three years of research experience in the relevant field OR Postgraduate degree in any stream of Biotechnology/ Life Sciences/Biochemistry/ Microbiology.

Desirable Experience : Candidates with prior experience in molecular cloning, in vitro experiments, biochemical and biophysical assays, protein expression and purification, enzyme kinetics, and mammalian cell culture will be given preference. Strong oral and written communication skills in English will be considered an additional asset.

Age Limit : Maximum 35 Years (Age relaxation for SC/ST/Physically Handicapped/Female candidates will be as per the Govt. of India rules).

Consolidated Emoluments : Rs. 28,000/-p.m + 30% HRA = Rs. 36,400 per month
