Jawaharlal Nehru University has been granted funds by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India to initiate an Inter-School programme in JNU to strengthen training and research called "DBT-Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-Interdisciplinary Life Science Programme for Advanced Research and education" with the broad project area entitled "From Molecules to Systems: Exploring biological space using chemical and synthetic biology" cutting across Physical, Chemical and Biological Sciences.

Applications are invited for Four (04) purely temporary post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF). This is a unique opportunity to work in the interface of Chemistry and Biology with a group of faculties having diverse range of experience and expertise. The project is upto March 2017, but the appointments shall be made initially for a period of one year, renewable every year depending on the performance:

A. Project Sub-Title: "Structure, function, and dynamics of bio molecules and Molecular engineering"

Junior Research Fellow (02)

Qualifications: M.Sc. in Chemistry (with major in Physical Chemistry) or in Physics. The project requirement is in the fields of single molecule and ultrafast spectroscopy to study drug DNA and lipid-ligand interactions.

The candidates must have experience of using time-resolved fluorescence spectrometers such as time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and fluorescence up-conversion (UPC), and/or single molecular fluorescence techniques such as fluorescence correlation spectrometer (FCS) and single molecule-FRET (sm-FRET). The candidates should also have hands-on experience of handling biomolecules like DNA, proteins and lipids. Instrumentation and computer programming skills are also required for these positions.

Investigator: Dr. Sobhan Sen, School of Physical Sciences.

Fellowship: Rs. 12000+30% HRA p.m.

B. Project Sub-Title: Analyzing enzymes of the SDR super familyJunior Research Fellow (01 Post)

Qualifications: M.Sc. in Life sciences or related fields. Candidates should have practical experience in molecular/cell biology technique and cell culture. Working knowledge of protein purification/ confocal microscopy and Flow Cytometry will be desirable.

Investigator: Prof. Aparna Dixit, School of Biotechnology

Fellowship: Rs. 12000+30% HRA p.m.

C. Project Sub-Title: Understanding Cell-cycle regulationJunior Research Fellow (01 Post)

Qualifications: M.Sc. in Life sciences or related fields. Candidates should have practical experience in molecular/cell biology technique and cell culture. Working knowledge of protein purification/ confocal microscopy and Flow Cytometry will be desirable.

Investigator: Dr. Swati Tiwari, School of Biotechology

Fellowship: Rs. 12000+30% HRA p.m.

(Note: Revised emoluments shall be payable if Educational Qualifications or Eligibility Criteria as per DST OM No. A.20020/11/97-IFD dated 31-03-2010 are met by the research personnel)
