NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
IMMUNOLOGY
Career Opportunities for Scientists in Life Sciences The
National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi, would like to recruit scientists
as independent investigators in the biomedical sciences, leading their own
groups and responsible for both research projects and teaching. They should be
holding Indian citizenship. A demonstrated record of scientific productivity
in the form of recent peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals of
high international repute and/or internationally valid and productive patents
is essential, as is some indication of independence in scientific thinking,
and three to four years of post-doctoral experience.
The
Institute’s primary goal is to gain insights into the immune system and its
interplay with disease so as to facilitate the development of new approaches
to disease amelioration. Of particular interest will be ideas in analysing the
immune system at the level of cellular biochemistry, cell biology,
developmental biology, physiology, signal transduction, apoptosis proteomics, structural,
chemical and systems biology. Research areas involving host-pathogen
interactions, covering the entire range of expertise and interest from the
statistical and epidemiological to the cellular and molecular levels will also
be welcome. Appointments are offered as Staff Scientists in various grades, which range from those equivalent to university positions of Senior Lecturer or Assistant Professor upwards. Length of experience and the quality of the scientific productivity record will be major factors in deciding the level of appointment as well as the salary offered. Investigators will be provided shared laboratory space and adequate start-up resources. They are expected to generate extramural project based funding. Some housing can be made available for allotment. Interested scientists may send their bio-data containing details of qualification, positions held, professional experience/distinctions and copies of notable publications, and the names, addresses, fax numbers, telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses of three potential referees, to the Director, National Institute of Immunology, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, New Delhi –110067. People working in public sector Institutions within India are requested to have their applications forwarded through proper channels. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further discussions. |
