JRF

I am looking for a motivated Junior Research Fellow (JRF) to join the CSIR project entitled “Identification and phylogenetic characterization of genes regulating unique flowering behavior in tree bamboo”.

The project is likely to start on 1st. October, 2014 and the current tenure of the scheme is 3 years. However, this project is a part of a long term project and therefore there are possibilities of extension based on satisfactory progress after 3 years.

Monthly salary for the first two year will be Rs. 16000 basic plus 30% HRA and on the third year it will be Rs. 18000 basic plus 30% HRA.

The JRF will have ample of opportunities to learn molecular biological and bioinformatics techniques in this project.

Das laboratory is a part of the Department of Biological Sciences, Presidency University. The Department has recently received big grants from Department of Biotechnology, DBT and Department of Science and Technology, DST and is going to be equipped with state of the art central instrumentation facilities within few months.

To find detailed information about Das laboratory please visit our website at: http://www.presiuniv.ac.in/web/staff.php?staffid=102.

The potential applicants must have acquired a first class M.Sc. degree in Biological Sciences (Botany/Biotechnology/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology/Bioinformatics) and have qualified NET/GATE. Experience in basic computer programming, proficiency in English and interest in Plant Science will be considered as a plus.

The fellow will need to explore wild vegetation of North-East India to collect flowering tissue material. If you are interested, please send a brief resume to malay.botany@presiuniv.ac.in
