Institute-funded Ph.D. positions:

In the laboratory of Supratim Datta: An Institute-funded Ph.D. position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Supratim Datta. The project involves construction of biosynthetic pathways for green synthesis of important molecules and to study the mechanisms of enzymes and further import into genetically engineered microorganisms. The project involves the use of a combination of enzyme engineering, biochemical and biophysical characterization, structural and computational biology, and genomic and proteomic discovery to identify enzyme targets. Collaboration with computational groups is routinely undertaken. Candidates are encouraged to be familiar with lab publications and contact the PI for any queries.

Essential qualifications: M.Sc/MS/ME/M.Tech/ degree or equivalent with Master’s degree or equivalent (with minimum 60 % marks) in chemistry/ Physics/ Biophysics/ Biochemistry/ Bionformatics/ Biology/Statistics/ Engineering or other relevant fields. The candidate should have qualified for one of the National eligibility exams like GATE/NET-LS/ IIT-JAM, etc.

Desirable skills: The ability to develop and implement plans for complex experiments, strong problemsolving skills, and a commitment to excellence in research. Experience in molecular biology, synthetic biology, protein engineering would be an advantage.
