The Centre of Excellence in Epigenetics (CoEE) at IISER Pune is funded by the Department of Biotechnology with Prof. Galande as the team leader. In the second phase of the CoEE (2016−2021), we will focus on significant leads obtained during the first phase. These will be in the field of neurobiology and behavior, to address key biological questions in epigenetic regulation especially focused on stem cell biology and effects that perpetuate over lifetime. We wish to further exploit our collaborative research on effect of early life stress, neurogenesis and epigenetic regulation of key genes essential for complex brain functions.

Initially for one year, can be extended upto 4 years upon successful evaluation

Rs. 74,800 per month with 10% annual increment

PhD in life sciences, Minimum 3 years of post-doctoral experience using human/​mouse embryonic stem cells and/​or mouse/​rat brain as model systems

Hands on experience with neurobiology/​molecular cell biology and ascociated techniques. Experience with transgenic and knockout animals would be preferred. The applicant should have published at least three first author articles in peer-reviewed journals in relevant fields

Interested candidates should send the application by email in the prescribed format available below the online advertisement (convert into PDF Format) addressed to bio_​app@​iiserpune.​ac.​in on or before March 18, 2018. Please mention name of the Post and Project Code in the subject line.
