The Aich Lab (https://www.niser.ac.in/profile/palok.aich) focuses on understanding the role of the intestinal microbiome on the gut-adipocyte-brain axis. For this industry-funded project, we plan to establish host metabolome markers to identify individuals’ metagenome profiles. The work would also involve the identification of novel probiotics and their prophylactic
or therapeutic roles. Knowledge of essential bioinformatics would be a plus. People with experience and interest in these areas with a strong desire for innovative research are preferred. The job involves but is not limited to:- a) Collection of clinical samples under the supervision of Clinical collaborators from AIIMS Bhubaneswar
- b) Processing of samples for downstream experiments and analysis

The above position is purely temporary for 12 months or completion of the project, whichever is earlier, and strictly co-terminus with the project and not leading to any Ph.D. degree in NISER. It would, therefore, not confer any right/claim, implicit or explicit, for consideration/absorption against any NISER post.
