Associate 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 following
research associate positions available under “Tomato Metabolome Network” (ToMaNet) funded by Dept of
Biotechnology under following project entitled “Biofortification of tomato by targeted manipulation of the biosynthetic
pathways”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 ` 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 molecular biology is required.
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
II: Applicants
should have experience in identifying natural plant products using NMR and/or
Mass spectrometry and should be supported by publications. PhD in Chemistry of
Natural Products is required.
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
III: Applicants
should have experience in bioinformatics for handling genome
sequencing/proteome/metabolite analyses and should be supported by publications.
PhD in Bioinformatics 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 can also apply, however
they would be considered for SRF position (18,000 ` pm + HRA). The candidates
