Minimum qualification: MSc in any branch of life sciences

Applications are invited for the position of a Research Assistant in the Centre for Human Genetics, Bangalore.

The project involves identification of mutations in MPS (mucopolysaccharidosis) patients, and study of their predicted effects to understand how the mutations lead to disease.

Techniques used will be genomic DNA isolation, PCR, DNA sequencing and sequence analysis. Computational tools would also be used to analyse and interpret data.

Candidates may be assigned work in the ongoing project or in new ones.

The candidate who is selected and joins would acquire hands-on experience in research and the capability to conduct insightful research.

Candidates applying for the position should have an MSc in any branch of life sciences. Those with research experience in cell and molecular biology, and high NET/ GATE score would be preferred.

The successful applicant is expected to stay for at least one and a half years.

Please apply with CV to Sudha Srinivasan (sudha@ibab.ac.in), stating where you saw this ad.

Parliament2 runs a combination of tools to generate structural variant calls on whole-genome sequencing data. It can run the following callers: Breakdancer, Breakseq2, CNVnator, Delly2, Manta, and Lumpy. Because of synergies in how the programs use computational resources, these are all run in parallel. Parliament2 will produce the outputs of each of the tools for subsequent investigation.
