Job Description
Applications are invited for the post of Junior Research
Fellow (JRF)/Senior Research Fellow (SRF) in a DST-SERB funded research project
entitled “Exploring the Applications of Chemical Space Networks in Molecular
Library Design and Drug Design” EMR/2016/002141, under the supervision of
Profs. N. Sukumar, Subhabrata Sen (Department of Chemistry and Center for
Informatics https://chemistry.snu.edu.in/people/faculty/n-sukumar), and

School of Natural Sciences, Shiv Nadar University, Gautam Buddha Nagar, U.P.
201314.
Project Synopsis: This project aims at the exploration of
chemical space from a network-centric perspective. We propose to investigate
molecular similarity networks using different families of molecular descriptors
and similarity measures. The application of various network measures to the
design of diversity oriented molecular libraries is a major goal of this project.
Objectives:
Comparison of molecular networks constructed from whole
molecule and fragment-based, 2-D and 3-D similarity measures;
Exploration of protein binding site similarity networks for
predicting cross reactivity of drugs;
Comparison of network measures for molecular interaction,
transformation and similarity networks.
Nature of work: ab initio electronic structure computations;
cheminformatics / statistical analysis; coding / scripting in Python, Java, R,
C/C++ ; graphical / network analysis.
The candidates will work in an inter-disciplinary project, and will be required
to interact with faculty, students and researchers across the Departments of
Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and the Center for Informatics.
Essential and Desirable Qualifications:
The candidate should have a Master’s degree (with a minimum
of 55% marks or equivalent grade) in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics from a
UGC recognized University, with computational skills or programming experience
(essential) in either Python, Java, R, Perl, Mathematica, Matlab, Fortran or
C/C++, and competence in Computational Chemistry and/or Network theory.
Candidates should be NET qualified. Candidates without such qualifications may
be hired at a salary based on experience. Candidates with 2 years or more of
research experience and publication record may be hired at SRF scale.
Duration of the Project: 1 Year (The project is funded until
September 2021).
Fellowship: As per DST norms, fellowship for JRF is ₹31,000/-
p.m.; for SRF ₹35,000/- p.m.
Eligible and interested candidates should send their
application with a complete CV (having personal details, academic
qualifications, research experience, publications, name, affiliation and email
address of two referees). Also, send photocopies of marksheets/testimonials/certificates,
a recent passport size photograph, and other relevant documents as PDF
attachment via email to the below address. All documents should reach Ms.
