Advertisement: Research Position in Computational Biology in the group of Shree P. Pandey Positions available in the area of NGS data analysis, bioinformatics, plant genomics Project Description: Projects involves high throughput analysis of data mostly generated by massively parallel sequencing (RNA-Seq and small-RNA-Seq), microarrays and related platforms. We are looking for highly motivated and bright individuals interested in high-throughput cutting-edge data analyses methods in genomics (computational positions). Available positions: Applications are invited from suitable candidates in both, the Max Planck India Partner Program and the CRP Wheat Program for openings at the levels: Minimum qualification Salary scale (per month) Project assistant Bachelor’s / Master’s Rs. 10000 / Rs. 14000 Project fellow (junior data analyst) Masters + research experience Rs. 16000 Research fellow (senior data analyst) Masters + adequate research experience/desirable skill sets Rs. 22000 Research Associated PhD (<1yr) / > 1 yr experience Rs. 28000 / Rs. 32000 Condition to satisfactory performance, availability of funds and requirements of the project, the positions could be available upto a period of ~2 years (or funding of the project). Essential qualification: MSc/BTech/MTech/PhD (or other suitable qualification) in discipline related to bioinformatics, computational biology, computer application (or equivalent)/ ‘Advance PostGraduate Diploma in Bioinformatics’. Proficiency in one of the programming languages or statistics (proficient in R for example) is compulsory. Desirable qualification: 1. Programming experiences in at least one low level language such as C/C++ and one scripting language such as Perl/Python/PHP and knowledge of SQL/MySQL. 2. Substantial experience in the linux or other unix environments. Application process: Applications should contain CV along with brief description (maximum 1 page) of research conducted (highlighting skills and experience) till now. Applications should be sent by email to Shree P. Pandey, Department of Biological Sciences, IISER-Kolkata, Mohanpur Campus, West Bengal within 2 weeks (Feb 19th 2015). E-mail: sppiiserkol@gmail.com, sppandey@iiserkol.ac.in Brief description of the group: We are an interdisciplinary group focusing on small-RNA (miRNA, siRNA) mediated regulation of signaling and defense. Project equally involve bioinformatics and systems biology (specially microarrays and next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis and its use), along with plant molecular biology, genetic engineering, field biology, and analytical plant chemistry for understanding response of plants to biotic stresses.
