FACULTY POSITION AT NCBS

NCBS is keen to consider applications from candidates with proven excellence in their field of research for faculty positions.  We do not have a fixed number of ‘posts’, neither do we search for targeted research themes.  If your track record demonstrates that you possess the requisite intellect, technical capabilities, commitment and potential, please do apply to us.

1. Faculty positions :

Fellow Assistant Professor level position: Candidates with 0-3 years of postdoctoral experience

Reader (Senior Assistant Professor) level position: Candidates with 5-6 years of postdoctoral experience

 If you are a senior independent investigator, we can consider you for positions at the Associate Professor or Professor level (For some early career applicants our Young Investigator Programme may be more appropriate).

2. Who can apply?

Currently the interests of our faculty range from single molecule biophysics to population biology and ecology . We realize that modern biology is interdisciplinary and are happy to consider applicants with backgrounds in the medical , physical sciences, chemistry or mathematics with strong research proposals in biology.  Your research interest need not match the existing areas pursued at NCBS.  While, we usually tap the large pool of internationally trained Indian scientists, people of any nationality are encouraged to apply.

3. When to apply

In general, it is wise to apply as early as you feel able.  You must have formulated clear-cut plans for future research and feel that you have the ability to initiate and sustain an independent research group.
