The Institute of Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), is a premier research centre carrying out frontier research in the field of stem cell biology. The inStem has initiated a collaborative program of research with the National Centre for Biological Sciences and the National Institute for Mental Health and Neurosciences. The program aims to understand the cellular and molecular basis of mental illness with a long-term goal to develop new therapies. The program involves the generation and analysis of cellular models using patient-derived human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their differentiated derivatives. We are looking for individuals with cell biology experience to assist in the establishment and analysis of human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines.

Two Project Associate positions are available for a candidate with cell and molecular biology expertise to work in this program. . The position comes with consolidated pay based on their qualification and experience.

Age Limit for the above position: Below 35 years

The appointments will be a fixed-term position initially for one (1) year.

As per institute norms.

Postgraduate degree in a relevant discipline, with two years of research experience.

Desirable: Experience in mammalian cell culture. Prior experience in stem cell culture would be an advantage.
