Professionally, Python is great for backend web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing. Many developers have also used Python to build productivity tools, games, and desktop apps, so there are plenty of resources to help you learn how to do those as well.

Jakkur,
Bengaluru 560 064

Evolution provides the overarching framework for organizing our understanding of biological phenomena at multiple structural levels and spatio-temporal scales. As such, evolutionary biology is more of a perspective or weltanschauung on the living world rather than a sub-discipline of biology. Unfortunately, despite the centrality of evolution to all thinking in biology, evolutionary biology remains neglected in the Indian context although research in many areas, not traditionally thought to be within the ambit of evolutionary biology, would greatly benefit from an evolutionary perspective.

The first school in evolutionary biology in the country, sponsored by SERB, will be conducted at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bengaluru. The school aims to provide participants with an introduction to the historical development of evolutionary thought and the various ecological, genetic and developmental aspects of the evolutionary process. The school will also provide an introduction to formal evolutionary theory and statistical methods for the analysis of evolutionary data.

Master’s/Ph.D. scholars, postdoctoral researchers and young faculty members in India may apply online on or before 31 December 2018 at http://school2019.serbevolschool.in, where additional details about the school can also be found. In case of any difficulty with the submission of applications, please e-mail Prof. T. N. C. Vidya, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Jakkur, Bengaluru, at tncvidya.lab@gmail.com.

Selected participants will be provided 3-tier AC train fare and local hospitality. There is no registration fee.

The positions are linked to the project “Integrated genomics - linking transcriptional and translational regulation over developmental time” supported by the Bergen Research Foundation

The fate of a cell is ultimately the product of the regulation of its genes. Gene regulation is a coordinated process acting at multiple levels of which transcription and translation are the most prominent. The Valen group is dedicated to the fundamental question of how transcription and translation is integrated to obtain the desired protein abundance. The recent development of high-throughput next generation sequencing techniques to monitor both active translation and transcription has made it possible to study this connection at the genome scale.

This project aims to elucidate the links between regulation of translation and transcription. The applicant will analyze next generation sequencing data and model gene regulation on a genome-wide level to identify the features that affect the translational output of transcripts. The work will be done in close collaboration with experimental scientists who will test the predictions of the computational models.

Additional information on the position can be obtained by contacting Eivind Valen (eivind.valen@ii.uib.no).

The research fellow must take part in the University’s approved PhD program leading to the degree within a time limit of 3 years. Application for admission to the PhD program, including a project plan outline for the training module, will be worked out in collaboration with the research group in question.

In total, the fellowship period is 4 years, 25 % of this will be allocated to teaching and/or administrative duties. The fellowship period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as a research fellow or similar.
