Scientific Group Leaders (Faculty) Recruitments at CDFD, Hyderabad

Scientific Group Leaders (Faculty) Recruitments
Advertisement No. 1/2012
The CDFD is an autonomous institute supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, that uniquely blends a high-quality service facility in DNA profiling and diagnostics with basic research in the frontier areas of modern biology. The current research themes, initiated and conducted by its Faculty investigators, include computational and structural biology, genetics and epigenetics, silkmoth genomics, molecular pathogenesis, cancer and stem cell biology, cell signalling, and molecular and cellular biology. The Centre also hosts an active and vibrant Ph.D. scholars program in these areas.
The Centre invites applications from Indian citizens for Scientific Group Leader (Faculty) positions in any of the areas of modern biology, for which a number of vacancies exist. For all these positions, the candidates will be expected to lead independent groups and to attract extramural research funding.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in any branch of Natural Sciences or an M.D.,and must have an outstanding track record of scientific productivity, as evident from publications in scientific journals of high impact and/or international patents. Although post-doctoral experience is desirable, exceptional candidates with a fresh Ph.D. may also be considered. The level of appointment, at either Assistant or Associate Professor equivalent, will depend on the length of experience and the quality of scientific productivity.
For further details on the advertised positions and on the ongoing research and service activities, prospective applicants may visit the CDFD website (http://www.cdfd.org.in/ ), where the details of application procedure are also provided.
Prospective applicants are also encouraged to contact any of the existing CDFD Faculty, for additional information or clarifications on the Centre’s activities, its recruitment process, provision of start-up funds etc.
There is no last date for receipt of applications, which will be evaluated periodically until all the positions are filled. Shortlisted applicants will be required either to appear before a Selection Committee or to visit the CDFD for a seminar and discussions before a decision is made.

CDFD Ph: +91-40-2474 9451 Fax: +91-40-2474 9490, http://www.cdfd.org.in/
DETAILS OF APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Applicants are requested to submit Curriculum Vitae with name and contact details, date of birth, nationality, complete list of publications, research interests and future research plans either by post to The Director, CDFD, Bldg. 7, Gruhakalpa, 5-4-399/B, Nampally, Hyderabad-500001, India or by e-mail to scientist@cdfd.org.in .
The course which we strongly encourage for all the short-listed Staff Scientist applicants is to visit us on a mutually convenient date and to interact with our faculty members. This gives us a chance to learn about the candidates' work in more detail. Moreover, this practice also helps the candidates in getting a true assessment of the work that is being carried out at CDFD and of the general living conditions in Hyderabad. For such a visit, the CDFD will reimburse the cost of economy class return airfare between a place in India and Hyderabad.
All short-listed applicants will also be called to appear before a duly constituted Selection Committee, and a letter to this effect will be sent to you by our Head, Administration once a date for such a meeting is finalized. In the case of those candidates who have already visited the CDFD for discussions and seminar, their appearance before the Selection Committee is optional and their applications can also be considered in absentia. On the other hand, applications of short-listed candidates who have not previously visited the CDFD will not be considered in absentia by the Selection Committee. Such candidates do, of course, have the option of visiting the CDFD at a later date (in case they also were not able to appear before the Selection Committee) to then be considered in absentia at a subsequent Selection Committee meeting, since we expect that not all the available positions will be filled immediately.

CCMB Summer Program 2012

CCMB Summer Program 2012
ELIGIBILITY QUALIFICATIONS
The training program is open to students from all branches of sciences and open to all Indian universities/research institutes.
Only the Students who are admitted in a Master’ program (M.Sc.) in year 2011 or B. Tech. (4 year) program in 2009 can apply, i.e., the students who will complete their 1st year of M. Sc. or 6th Semester of B. Tech. in June/July 2012 are eligible to apply;
M. Tech. students are not eligible.
Computer science students with flair for biology may also apply.
TRAINING PROGRAM
It is not a conventional classroom lectures based training program. Instead, each selected candidate/trainee will be assigned to a CCMB staff scientist who will supervise/mentor him/her during the stay. Each student is expected to execute a small project work under the guidance of the scientist. At the end of the program, student will need to submit a ‘Project Report’ of the work done, and also would be required to make an oral presentation.
The program is mainly intended to give students a real-time exposure/hands-on experience to a research environment, in the hope that it would inculcate in them a zeal for research as a future career.
Although, efforts are made to take into consideration the ‘statement of purpose’/research interest of the selected students (while assigning to different Scientists), but it is generally not possible in many cases; as the allotments are mainly based on the availability of working place(s) in different labs and not the other way around. Therefore, only those students should apply for the training program, who are ready to work in any lab in CCMB, if selected, irrespective of his/her stated research interest.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Application for the Summer Program 2012 can be down loaded (Zipped pdf file). Completed application (Hard copy) for the program MUST reach CCMB by the first Monday of February 2012 (6/2/2012). The names of the Selected candidates will be made available on CCMB homepage during the second week of April 2012 (around 15/4/2012); here, it may be noted that no separate intimation would be sent to any candidate, and thus all applicants must look for his/her name in the ‘selection list’ on CCMB homepage only.
SELECTION PROCESS
A committee nominated by the Director, CCMB, selects the trainees. One of the major criteria used in selection is that the selected candidates should represent the Nation-wide coverage of different Indian states (based on the location of their academic institutions, but irrespective of their birthplace, sex, cast or religion). ‘Statement of purpose’ and the ‘Recommendation/reference Letter’ are other important considerations in the selection of candidates along with the academic record. A few seats (~5%) are reserved for the children of CCMB employees.
The number of trainees’ intake varies between 50 - 60 candidates, and mainly depends upon the availability of bench space with different staff scientists of CCMB. On an average we receive ~1500 applications, of which only 3.0 – 4.0 % candidates make it to the program.
IMPORTANT DATES
The program is for duration of 60 days (~eight weeks) in the months of May-July 2012.
Last date for receipt of Application in CCMB: Monday, the 6th February 2012.
Selected candidate’s LIST on CCMB homepage :Between 10 - 15, April 2012
(there will be No separate letter of intimation from CCMB to the selected candidates)
Last date for selected candidates to inform their Acceptance to CCMB/Program Coordinator: 20th April 2012
Tentative dates to join CCMB/ the program: 10-15th May 2012(no one will be allowed to join after 20th May under any circumstance)
SUPPORT /BOARDING/LODGING
CCMB will not provide any financial support for boarding/ lodging. All the selected candidates are required to self-finance their stay in CCMB/ Hyderabad.
The candidates are expected to make their own arrangement for stay in Hyderabad during the training period, though CCMB may consider specific requests only from outstation students, especially girl students for shared accommodation in CCMB housing facility depending upon the availability of vacant flats/space.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE
As is evident from our experience in earlier years, the competition is very high for the few available seats with an average chance of selection being only 3.0 – 4.0 %.
Applications for SummerProgram 2012 MUST be submitted as a hard copy. The application incomplete in any respect will be rejected/not considered.
Requests/applications for the program sent prior to this notification will not be considered. Any such candidate must apply again using the prescribed application form.
There is no FEE for the training program; but all selected candidates have to bear their boarding/lodging expenditure during the 60-day stay at CCMB.
The decision of the Centre in regard to the selection of candidates shall be final.
Canvassing in any form and /or bringing in any influence, political or otherwise, will be treated as a
disqualification.
Selected candidates are expected to have cleared their final exams (1st year in case of M.Sc. students, and 6th semester in case of B. Tech. students) before joining the program and thus are required to bring the documentary proof for the same. On the other hand, for students, whose results may be awaited at that time, students would need to provide a certificate from their college certifying that - the student has appeared for the final exams, and that the results are yet to be declared.
All candidates selected for the program would need to spend a minimum period of 60 days in CCMB without any break.
This is one of the most important requirements and accordingly, all candidates need to furnish a certificate from their Head of the Department/Competent authority of the college/institute to this effect (see the Application form) for instructions.
