The Department of Life Sciences at Shiv Nadar University (SNU), recognized as an Institution of Eminence by the Government of India, is undergoing a dynamic phase of growth in both research and education. As part of our strategic expansion and dedication to advancing the frontiers of biological sciences, SNU invites applications for faculty positions in the following high- priority research areas.:

• Plant Biology – developmental biology, plant-biotic interactions
• Immunology — innate immune mechanisms in disease pathogenesis
• Metabolomics, particularly in the context of aging and metabolic disorders
• Organoid-Based Cell and Developmental Biology
• Genomics Informatics
• Lipid Trafficking

Department hosts state-of-the-art research facilities in genomics, mass spectrometry, drug screening, flow cytometry, Drosophila biology, protein expression and characterization, in vivo & in vitro biosafety laboratories and an advanced imaging facility. Additionally, they are home to two major research centers: the Center for Integrative and Translational Research, which support preclinical models of health and disease and the Center of Excellence in Epigenetics. These are further strengthened by university-wide initiatives such as the SNU-Dassault Systems Center that facilitates computational biology studies.

Selected candidates will be expected to establish and maintain an independent, externally funded research program, actively engage in undergraduate and graduate teaching, and contribute to the development of interdisciplinary courses and initiatives in collaboration with other departments across the university.

Faculty appointments are open at all levels — from Assistant to Full Professor — based on the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and alignment with the department’s strategic vision. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in the Sciences and have completed a productive postdoctoral tenure that clearly demonstrates strong potential for an internationally recognized and impactful research career.
