Position available Project Description: Several positions are available for the project titled: “A unified web-portal for analysis, integration and visualization of multi-omics data”. The goal of this project is to develop a user-accessible resource for integrated analysis and visualization of multi-OMICs data sets (including gene expression, genotype, methylation, microRNA, etc.). Data sets generated on various platforms shall be maintained in a stable database, accessed through standard querying mechanisms, and the results shall be displayed via user-friendly interface. The analysis engine shall run on open-source software (such as R/Bioconductor) developed in-house. All positions are contractual.

Appointment will be initially given for a period of one year which is extendable depending upon performance, availability of funds and requirements of the institute.
