Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (www.instem.res.in), an Autonomous Institution under the aegis of the Department of Biotechnology, the Government of India invites applications for the post of Project Associate position in the Tubulin Code, Cilia and Homeostasis lab at inStem.
The “Tubulin code, Cilia and Homeostasis” laboratory headed by Dr Sudarshan Gadadhar in the Centre for Inflammation and Tissue Homeostasis at inStem, Bengaluru, offers two project associate positions for candidates with a strong interest in protein biochemistry, cilia biology and tissue homeostasis.
The major research focus of the lab is to understand how different posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of α- and β- tubulin dimers, building blocks of the cytoskeleton, impact the biology and function of the tiny hair-like organelles called cilia, present on most epithelial cells in mammals. The lab is interested in understanding how the primary cilia on different cells within the tissue
crosstalk are able to regulate tissue homeostasis, especially in repair post-injury/infections. A major focus of the lab is to understand how the core structural backbone of cilia, the axonemal microtubules, and their posttranslational modifications are modulating ciliary trafficking, thus controlling primary cilia function, and playing a role in regulating tissue homeostasis. The selected candidates will address key questions using an interdisciplinary approach that involves in vitro, in cellulo and in vivo analyses with techniques ranging from molecular aspects (biochemistry, molecular biology, in vitro reconstitution), through cell biology, advanced microscopy to the level of whole organism understanding.Check our recent publications as well as visit www.sudarshanlab.com to have an idea of our scientific approaches and questions.
We are located at the Institute of Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), Bengaluru, which is one of the premier research institutes in India. As an autonomous research institute of the Department of Biotechnology, research at inStem focuses on bridging clinical and laboratory research with experts in the fields of stem cell biology, developmental biology, computational biology, structural biology, biophysics and so on. In addition, inStem has state-of-the-art core research facilities.
We offer two full-time fixed-term project associate positions for 1 year initially and are extendable based on review. The candidates will benefit from technical and conceptual training, mentorship, and career development and will be trained to use cutting-edge technologies and develop independent research thinking. Applicants will be involved in planning and executing the experiments related to in vitro reconstitution of proteins, and cell biological analyses of the role of tubulin posttranslational modifications in regulating signalling through primary cilia.
Name of position – Project Associate-I
