Name of the Project “Innovative Nucleoside Probes as Multifunctional Toolbox
to Study RNA Structure, Dynamics and Function"
Funding Agency Wellcome Trust India Allianze under Department of
Biotechnology
Project Code 30716255
Minimum educational
Qualification: Ph. D. degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry with First
class in Master’s in Science or equivalent degree.
Candidates who have submitted their thesis may also
apply
(Thesis should be related to Bioorganic / Medical
Chemistry or Chemical Biology)
Preference Candidate should have a Ph. D. degree in Bioorganic or
medicinal or chemical biology, good practical experience

have very good hands on experience in cell culture and
imaging.
Also, candidates with experience in nucleic acid
chemistry, cloning, microbiology and molecular biology
will be strongly preferred.
Desirable :The incumbent should ideally possess good skills in
synthetic organic chemistry and well versed with
spectroscopy techniques to characterize small molecules
as well biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids). Should have
hands-on-experience in handling instruments like
fluorescence, CD, HPLC, etc. This project will mainly
involve the development of probes for understanding the
structure-function relationship of non-canonical nucleic acid structures both in vitro and in cell models.
