We warmly welcome Prof Hans Acha-Orbea from UNIL, Lausanne, Switzerland for Sabbatical work in our laboratory at ILS for six months from December 2016 to July 2017.
Prof. Hans Acha-Orbea and his lab members from UNIL, Lausanne, Switzerland visited our lab in march 2016 in the purview of DST-SNSF Indo-Swiss project.
Dr. Sebastian M. Waszak, Senior Postdoc at EMBL, Heidelberg visited our group from 5th-08th Dec, 2015. He gave a guest lecture at ILS. The group had close discussion with him on several projects and for future collaborations.
Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), Bhubaneswar an autonomous Institute of the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India invites applications from Indian Nationals to join in the following position in DBT- sponsored project “Integrative genomics approach to identify the role of co-regulators in dendritic cell immune responses and its impact on T helper cell differentiation”.
Name of position: Junior Research Fellow (01 No)
Fellowship: Rs. 25,000 per month+ @ 20% HRA
Eligibility and Selection: Candidates must hold a post-graduate degree with first class in biological sciences (Life sciences, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology) with CSIR-UGC NET-LS or JRF qualification. The candidate with hands on experience in techniques such as cell culture, western blotting, Flow Cytometry (FACS), RT-qPCR and basic molecular biology techniques would be given preference. During the project work if the candidate is found suitable, he/she could be registered as PhD student in the lab as per ILS rules.
The project involves understanding the transcriptional control of dendritic cell immune response development and identifying methods to modulate T helper cell differentiation. The candidate will gain expertise in a variety of biochemical, immunological and high-throughput genomic techniques.
Interested/eligible candidates may download application form from the institute website (www.ils.res.in) and apply along with attested copies of mark sheets and certificates to the Director, Institute of Life Sciences, Nalco Square, Bhubaneswar-751023.
Initial appointment will be for one year, extendable up to three years or until termination of the project whichever is earlier. The position is purely temporary. No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview.
The decision of the Director regarding selection of candidates will be final and no correspondence will be entertained in this regard.
