About the organization:
TheMolecular Biology and Genetics Unit at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for AdvancedScientific Research, Bangalore invites applications for faculty positions atthe Assistant Professor level in the area of Cellular Immunology with a focuson human disease. We are looking for individuals who will develop vigorous,extramurally funded, research programs that will integrate with the highlycollaborative scientific environment at the Institute (http://www.jncasr.ac.in/mbgumain.php).The Institute offers excellent,well-equipped, laboratory space and extensive shared facilities, includinganimal, molecular biology, confocal, microarray, massspec, flow cytometry andbio-imaging laboratories. The candidates are expected toestablish a strong and independent research programs and share teachingresponsibilities.  Applicantsmust have a Ph.D. in biology or a related discipline, 3-4 years of postdoctoralexposure, and teaching experience. Please send curriculum vitae, description ofachievements and research interests, and the names of three references to: We are a relatively young but already well-known multidisciplinary research institute. Our mandate is to pursue and promote world-class scientific research and training at the frontiers of science and engineering. The Centre was established in 1989 by the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India, to mark the birth centenary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. However, the bulk of our growth has been in the past decade. Our small size (around 40 faculty members, spread over several disciplines) is an advantage: not segregated in far-flung labs, our chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers rub shoulders throughout the day. This fosters a spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration which is one of the hallmarks of JNCASR. In addition to our young and dynamic faculty, we have over 150 bright and energetic graduate students and state-of-the art experimental, computational and infrastructural facilities. We are a “Deemed University”, granting Master’s and Ph.D. degrees. Researchers at the Centre are divided into seven units: Chemistry and Physics of Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Evolutionary and Organismal Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Theoretical Sciences, Educational Technology and Geodynamics. We also have two off-campus units at the Indian Institute of Science: the Chemical Biology and Condensed Matter Theory Units. Though it is of course difficult to quantify scientific performance, by all numerical indications (numbers of publications, citations, grants, patents filed, etc.), science at the Centre is flourishing. In the last few years, the Centre’s faculty members have published their research in some of the most prestigious scientific journals, including Nature, Nature Medicine, Science, Evolution, the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie, the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and Physical Review Letters. The work of the Centre’s faculty is also being recognized by various awards. We also support a range of educational outreach activities: every year, our highly competitive Summer Research Fellowship programme hosts some of the very brightest undergraduates in the country; the Educational Technology Unit produces a range of teaching aids and educational material; we organize and teach short term courses at universities across India; and promising young chemists and biologists are trained intensively as part of our programmes of Project-Oriented-Chemical-Education (POCE) and Project-Oriented-Biological-Education (POBE). Our faculty and students benefit from interacting with scientists at the many research institutions in the greater Bangalore area. The intellectual atmosphere at JNCASR is further livened by a regular stream of visitors from all over the world, who contribute to spirited scientific discussions at seminars, conferences and summer schools. We believe we possess all the necessary ingredients to excel in scientific research and education, and look forward to growing further in the coming years.The centre was established in the year 1989 to commemorate the birth centenary of Late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, with the initiative of Prof. C.N.R.Rao, the founder President. During the last one and half decade, the Centre has continuously grown to become one of the leading research institutions in India. The Centre is also recognized by the University Grants Commission as Deemed University in the year 2002. The Centre has very active academic programmes including training of Ph.D students as well as several extension activities to foster interaction among the scientific community from within India and abroad.
