Research Positions in Tomato Functional Genomics
At
the Repository of Tomato Genomics Resources, we are working on Tomato
Functional Genomics, using TILLING, Insertional Mutagenesis, NGS,
proteomics and metabolomics approaches to study fruit ripening in
tomato. The current aims of the group include using reverse and forward
genetics strategies 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 (Food Chemistry 2015 179: 76- 84, Plant
Methods 2015 11:5, Plant Cell Environment 2014 37: 1688-1702, Plant
Physiology 2014 164: 2030- 2044; Plant Physiology 2013 161: 2085–2101;

Currently
we have following positions available in the projects “Tomato ripening
network” and “Interaction between proteome and metabolomic networks
during tomato fruit ripening” awarded to Dr. Y. Sreelakshmi, funded by
Department of Biotechnology. The qualifications for the positions are as
follows:
1. Research Associate I - 1 position:
Applicants should have very good experience in gene cloning and
functional genomics approaches- gene silencing, genome editing using
CRISPR/CAS and/or yeast two hybrid-BiFC analyses, preferably in tomato
or other crop plants and should be supported by publications. Selected
candidate would be paid Rs. 38,000+30% HRA. The candidates who have
submitted PhD Thesis and have research publications in plant molecular
biology are also encouraged to apply.
2. Research Associate II - 1 position:
Applicants should have very good experience in proteomics, preferably
using plant tissues in examining posttranslational modifications,
quantitative proteomics using shotgun approaches, basic knowledge of
mass spectrometry and should be supported by publications. Selected
candidate would be paid Rs. 36,000+30% HRA. The candidates meeting the
above specifications and who have submitted PhD Thesis and have research
publications are also encouraged to apply.
3. Junior research fellow- 1 position:
Applicants should have M.Sc. in any branch of Life Sciences plus 1-2
years research experience in proteomics analyses-2Dgel/LC-MS or M.Tech
with GATE/GATE equivalent with experience in mass spectrometry.
Candidates with M.Sc. should be qualified in NET-LS/BET. Selected
candidate would be paid Rs. 25,000+30% HRA.
4. Tissue culture assistant- 1 position:
Applicants should have minimum one year experience in plant tissue
culture for generating transgenic plants. M.Sc. in any branch of Life
Sciences is required. Selected candidates would be paid a consolidated
pay of Rs. 13,000/-pm. The applications for tissue culture assistant
without enclosed experience certificate will be rejected.
5. Laboratory Assistant- 1 position:
Applicants should have minimum 3 years’ experience working in a
research lab with a minimum qualification of 10th class pass. The
candidate should take care of the plants in the green house and open
field, wash glassware, maintain lab and help the research students. The
applications for laboratory assistant without enclosed experience
certificate will be rejected. Selected candidate would be paid Rs.
8000/month consolidated.
We also have few
openings for CSIR/UGC/DBT/ICMR/BINC JRF qualified candidates for
pursuing PhD in research areas of tomato proteomics, metabolomics and
functional genomics. The interested candidates can send CV to the email
address given below for consideration for PhD program.
Candidates
interested in above project positions should send a one page statement
clearly explaining how their skills are relevant to the position. The
candidates should also enclose detailed CV and the name/email id for
three referees. The candidates can send their application by email at
y.sreelakshmi@uohyd.ac.in on or before May 24th, 2015. All the positions are purely temporary in nature.
Shortlisted candidates would be called for interview. No TA/DA would be provided for attending the interview.
