Immediate opening for a JRF position on Single Molecule Imaging and Manipulation (05-04-2021)

Rakshit Lab has immediate opening for a JRF position on 'Development of a multiplexed Magnetic tweezer for single-molecule pulling of multiple beads simultaneously'.

This project aims to design a software that may track multiple micron (typically 2-3 µM sized beads) in Z-direction at high-precision with fast image acquisition and data analysis. The work demands a substantial knowledge on programming in Python, C/C++ for image processing and data-acquisition, preferably also application of GPU programming.

Positions: One

Duration: One year and extendable up to 2 more years upon evaluation.

Emoluments (year wise): INR 31000 pm / 31000 pm/ 35000 pm +8%HRA

Essential Qualifications:

The applicants should hold a 5 yr master degree in Physical/Chemical/Biological Sciences or 4 yr-engineering degree in any discipline. The candidate must have qualified GATE and or NET. A strong knowledge on C/C++, Python, image processing, data-acquisition and GPU programming is essential for the post. It is also essential that the candidates have strong interest in learning some of the state-of-the art single molecule techniques we routinely perform in lab using AFM and fluorescence microscope.
