Posted by Priti Agarwal, on 18 April 2025
Location: Bangalore
Closing Date: 30 April 2025
Curious about how organs take shape and function? Passionate about cell biology, development, or biomechanics? We’re a brand-new lab at NCBS using C. elegans to uncover how mechanical and biochemical signals drive organ morphogenesis.
We’re looking for final-year BS-MS/Master’s students or recent grads who are eager to explore research at the intersection of biology and physics. You’ll get hands-on experience with genetic tools, CRISPR, live imaging, laser ablations, and more. Come help build something from scratch – your ideas, curiosity, and energy will shape this lab!
💡 What you’ll do:
-
Get trained in imaging and worm handling
-
Learn advanced molecular, cell biology, and biophysics techniques
-
Take charge of your own mini-project over time
-
Work in a collaborative, mentorship-driven environment
Ideal for curious minds aiming for a research career or PhD. Prior experience is great but not a must.
Preference for candidates who can stay 12+ months.
