ADVT. No: 2017-Researcher (02)

Junior Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow / Project Assistant-II

NABI Computational Biology/Bioinformatics Laboratory has the high performance computing infrastructure which is a gateway for NABI scientists to use computational methods and databases to deepen and integrate their research. We are specifically trying to identify novel genes and pathways through transcriptome assembly and annotation, digital expression profiling, genome mapping and data-mining, gene regulatory network reconstruction and identification of non-synonymous mutations. Successful candidate will get opportunity to get themselves trained to use TFLOP scale computing cluster (HPC) for solving important biological questions. To accelerate high quality research, applications are invited from motivated candidates with high level of creativity, innovative research ideas and communication skills and drive for carrying out research in the following research areas:

Project Title (multiple positions):
