The research in our lab is interdisciplinary and we welcome applications from both biologists interested in quantitative techniques and analysis as well as physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers who want to learn quantitative biology and pursue interesting questions.
ARE YOU A BUILDER? A TINKERER? AN INNOVATOR?
Our lab is seeking engineers to bring creative ideas to life. We're looking for talented individuals from Mechanical, Electronics, or Instrumentation backgrounds to build unique systems that will enable pushing the boundaries of science.
Your creations will directly contribute to some of today's most fundamental scientific quests: from understanding how life originates and how living systems are organized, to building physical learning systems and self-replicating machines.
Your skillset could include any/all of the following with a willingness to learn on the go:
- 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
- Designing and building custom circuits.
- Understanding of optics and imaging systems.
- Assembling complex electro-mechano-optical devices.
If you love the challenge of putting together functional systems and want to see your creations used for cutting-edge research, this is the role for you -- you bring the engineering skills, we'll provide the fascinating scientific problems.
No biology experience required but a willingness to learn and engage will be crucial. Ready to build with us? Please contact me ([email protected]) with a copy of your CV/resume and a short note about why you find this interesting.

Postdoctoral positions: Please send your application, a research statement and CV to shashi |at| ncbs |dot| res |dot| in. If you are in or around Bangalore, please stop by. Some exciting possibilities for exceptional postdoctoral candidates to work with us are below:
PhD positions: Please apply directly to the NCBS Graduate Program or the ICTS Graduate Program. My colleagues and I at the Simons Center for the Study of Living Machines and at the Physical Biology Research Group particularly encourage applications from students with physics/maths/engineering/ computer-science backgrounds, and have a strong curiosity about biology.
JRFs/Graduate Trainees: Please apply if you have qualified for funding and are looking for exciting projects at the interface of Physics/Maths/Engineering and Biology.
Undergraduates: We usually have a few undergraduates doing their final year projects or other short term projects with us. At steady state we expect this number to be between 0 and 2 at any given time.
