Research Associate post at University of Hyderabad

University of Hyderabad

Research Associate in Genomics/Mutagenesis

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 following research associate position available under “Sequence-Indexed Library of Insertion Mutations in the Tomato Genome” funded by Dept of Biotechnology under supervision of Prof. R.P. Sharma, at Dept of Plant Sciences, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad. The research associate would be offered fellowships of ` 22,000/- pm + HRA. The qualification for the Research Associate Position is as follows:

Research Associate: Applicants should have experience in plant functional genomics, molecular biology, mutagenesis preferably in tomato or other crop plants and application should be supported by publications. PhD in molecular biology 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 who have submitted their doctoral thesis or have at least tworesearch publications can also apply, however they would be considered for SRF position (18,000 ` pm + HRA).
