Company Description

Lab on a chip & Biosensors Group of Prof. Sandeep K. Jha at Centre for Biomedical Engineering, IT Delhi is one of the forefront research team in India which works on microfluidics, point-of-care biosensors and embedded systems for clinical applications. Details at www.sandeepjha.com

Indian Institute of Technology (IT) Delhi is a National Centre of Excellence for training, research, and development in science, engineering, and technology in India Established in 1961, I1T Delhi has graduated over 50,000 individuals, including more than 5500 with a Ph.D. degree. In 2018, IIT Delhi was granted the special status of Institution of Eminence by the Govt. of India, providing greater autonomy in hiring and collaborations

Role Description

Molecular Biologist

In subsequent stages, the Candidate has to deploy these assays into microfluidic devices (e.g. http://sandeepjha.com/publications/) or paper fluidic kits to develop a clinical diagnostic product.

The candidates should also have handled clinical Validation in atleast one project. These skillsets are required beforehand as learning Curve will be steep.

Candidates demonstrating this full potential will be encouraged to enrol for Ph.D. program at the Centre for a natural Career progression after Successful Completion of the assignments.

Postdocs may also apply and we offer unlimited duration tenure by supporting him/her via different projects. Our lab is amongst best funded in Biomedical Engineering/Diagnostics domain in India and shall remain so on the back of cutting edged research that we keep producing.

However we seek full dedication towards work. Those interested in 10-5 job (some even try to pass on 11-4 culture upon joining, citing family and health issues and get sacked after 3 month's initial probation) need not apply. Your involvement shall get beyond this and your reward shall be Patents, Tech. transfers and eventual multitude of high impact publications to your career resume. Please see examples here: http://sandeepjha.com/publications/

Qualifications

• Molecular Biologist must have handled qPCR and RT-PCR with melt curve analysis, also
  Crispr cas 12, 13 assays. Should be able to design primers and probes and molecular beacons themselves.
• Biochemist should have proficiency in Enzymology, Biosensors, Enzyme kinetic assays (e.g. GOD, POD)
• Microbiologist should have handled atleast one class 3 pathogen.
• We work in team of 3-4 involving one from each domain and one Embedded engineer. Hence, those interested in hoarding credit for himself/herself are unsuitable.
• Originlab based data plotting, signal conditioning/refinement
