Application for the post of a JRF/RA in a research project funded by the SERB, India
Title: 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.
We are an interdisciplinary research group who use single molecule techniques to understand biology quantitatively. To know more about our research interests, please visit our web-page.
Positions: One
Duration: One year and extendable up to 2 more years upon evaluation.
