Last Date of application Dec 5, 2019 SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE FOR THE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION Our Lab would like to sponsor positions of the Post Doctorate Fellows (Research Associate) who wish to apply for fellowships like DBT-RA, NPDF, WOS, UGC-RA, ICMR-RA, INSA etc.. The project may be submitted to the funding agency. We will guide you for writing the project. If project is granted, we will be happy to accommodate you in our Lab and extend all the facilities and knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, Protein Chemistry and Virology. Our Lab works on following four projects: 1. Development of in vitro HEV Culture system to establish the role of its enzymes and their inhibitors to study the replication cycle of the virus. (DST) 2. Biochemical and Biophysical characterization of the non-structural enzymes of HEV involving their crystallization to find out their inhibitors that may act as putative drug candidates. (DBT) 3. Study the mechanism of processing of HEV polyprotein leading to its cleavage into Non-structural enzymes. (DST) 4. Modelling and simulation of the non-structural enzymes to predict the active site and its inhibitors using virtual screening ( WOSA)

Conditions: Person desirous of getting sponsored and working with us should be well versed with techniques in the fields of Biochemistry /Recombinant DNA Technology/Virology/Biophysics as validated by good publication record in PhD. Please send your CV and Research statement to anil.shukla @snu.edu.in. If found suitable, I will get in touch subsequently for further discussion Abou Shiv Nadar University: University is located in Village Chithera, Dadri, Gautam Budh Nagar, 10 Km from Greater NOIDA.
