Positions in Tomato Functional Genomics and Metabolomics
At University of Hyderabad, we
are having a vibrant group on Tomato Functional Genomics, which is working on
TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes), Insertional Mutagenesis,
proteomics and fruit ripening in tomato. Some of the current aims of the group
include using reverse genetics to isolate tomato mutants delayed in ripening,
having high lycopene and folate content in tomato fruits and analysis of light
and hormonal signal transduction pathways. For recent publications of the group
see (Plant Physiol 156: 1424- 1438; Molecular Plant 3: 854-869; Plant Methods
6: 3; Plant Methods 5:18; Plant Signaling and Behavior 5:11.).
Currently we have post-doctoral research
associate positions available under “Tomato Metabolome Network” (ToMaNet)
funded by Dept of Biotechnology under following projects entitled “Biofortification
of tomato by targeted manipulation of the biosynthetic pathways”
under supervision of Prof. R.P. Sharma, and “Interaction between Proteome and Metabolome
Networks during Tomato Fruit Ripening” under supervision of Dr. Y Sreelakshmi
at Dept of Plant Sciences, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad.
The research associate would be
offered fellowships of Rs 24,000/- pm + HRA. The qualifications for the
Research Associate Positions are as follows:
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
I: Applicants
should have experience in plant functional genomics, RNAi/VIGS, Next Gen
Sequencing preferably in tomato or other crop plants and should be supported by
publications. PhD in Biological Sciences is required.
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
II: Applicants
should have experience in proteomics-2D/DIGE/LCMS and also in characterizing
PTMs and should be supported by publications. PhD in Biological Sciences is
required.
Candidates interested in above
positions should send their CV, a statement clearly explaining how their skills
are relevant to the position and the name/contact information for three references.
The candidates can send their application by email at rameshwar.sharma@gmail.com and/or syellamaraju@gmail.com
on or before May 7th, 2012.
No TA/DA would be provided for
attending the interview.
