Designation/Position- Post Doc Position
The Singh laboratory , IISc, Bangalore, Karnataka, India invites application for Post Doc Position from eligible and interested candidates
About- The Singh laboratory has openings for postdoctoral fellows to work on the Wellcome Trust/DBT funded project ‘Microbe-derived olfactory signals as regulators of lipid metabolism, innate immunity, and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans.’
Research/Job Area- Biological sciences
Location- Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Eligibility/Qualification–
Research group is looking for self-motivated individuals who want to work in a dynamic atmosphere that values multidisciplinary approaches and teamwork.
