degree in physics/physical chemistry/biophysics/applied mathematics/computer
science
Applications are invited for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF)
position in the project "Theoretical biophysics of molecular competition
in gene expressions" under the guidance of Dr. Dipjyoti Das (Assistant
Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, IISER Kolkata) and funded by the
Science and Engineering Research Board (DST, Government of India). The project
generally aims to mathematically model random chemical reactions in gene
expressions using the tools of stochastic simulations and theory of non-equilibrium
statistical physics.
The position is available for 1 year, and extendable for
another 1 year based on performance. The opportunity of continuing the research
towards a Ph.D can also be considered if the student can acquire his/her own
fellowship after two years.
Required qualifications:

chemistry/biophysics/applied mathematics/computer science (or in any related engineering and science
field with comprehensive course works in applied mathematics/physics/probability
& statistics) with minimum 60% marks or CGPA/CPI of 7.00/10.
Experience of coding in C/C++/FORTRAN.
The candidate should be strongly motivated to pursue
mathematical calculations and code writing in an interdisciplinary environment.
Preference will
be given to
candidates who have
qualified national level exams
(NET, GATE, JEST etc.), but do not have
financial support from an independent fellowship.
Please send your application electronically via email (as a
single PDF) with relevant documents, including (i) a letter of
motivation/Statement of Purpose, (ii) curriculum vitae with names of two
referees, and (iii) copy of Master's degree certificate by January 19, 2020, to
Dr. Dipjyoti Das, Department of Biological Sciences, IISER Kolkata (E-mail:
dipjyoti.das@iiserkol.ac.in). One letter of recommendation (preferably from a
Master’s thesis guide) must be sent. If the candidate prepared any Master’s
thesis report, it should also be sent as a soft copy (PDF).
