Phd @ Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology


  The Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) invites applications from
individuals with strong motivation and good academic credentials to pursue research in
frontier areas of modern biology leading to a Ph.D. degree in the broad areas of functional
genomics, bioinformatics, comparative genomics and gene expression, disease genomics,
allergy and infectious diseases, environmental biotechnology, proteomics, biophysical
chemistry, nucleic acids and peptides design/synthesis etc.
OUR INSTITUTE
IGIB, a premier research Institute under CSIR, has emerged as one of the leading
knowledge providers in India in the area of genomics and genome informatics through
generation of new knowledge in molecular medicine. IGIB is a confluence of motivated
researchers in multidisciplinary areas working synergistically in modern integrative biology.
IGIB has developed domain expertise in genomics and established extensive partnerships
and collaborations with medical institutes, universities and industry.
We aspire to become a globally recognized Institute in biological research, a goal we wish to
share with students who dare to dream and dream to dare.
WHO CAN APPLY
Masters’ degree in any branch of life sciences/chemical sciences/physical
sciences/biotechnology/mathematics/statistics/computer science or allied subjects with
special interest in biology: M.Sc. candidates should also hold CSIR-UGC (JRF) /DBT(JRF)
/ICMR-JRF (fellowship certificate should be valid as on 1st August, 2008 in all the cases.
DBT and ICMR fellowship conditions should allow them to work under non-DBT and non-
ICMR funded projects also).

disqualification.
SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
IGIB organises an innovative course-work in integrative biology for Ph.D. students. The
program is specially designed to encourage young minds to think and generate integrative
approaches towards contemporary challenges in biology. The broad areas that would be
covered in this course are information flow in biological systems, time and space in biological
systems, biomolecules and cells: a systems biology approach, host-pathogen interactions,
microbes and environment, bioinformatics and scientific communication skills-theory and
practice. We believe that this course structure allow students to develop holistic
understanding of biological processes and help them develop into trans-disciplinary
scientists and integrative biologists.
