NCBS is hosting a CEFIPRA grant to study, experimentally and theoretically, how an RNA system could self-sustain from smaller fragments, and be evolved according to the laws of natural selection, in the absence of template-based replication. This is a collaborative effort involving NCBS, Bangalore, and ESPCI, Paris. Applications are invited for a JRF position at NCBS to study theoretically the dynamics of RNA-based autocatalytic sets.

Essential Qualifications: Post Graduate Degree in Basic Science with NET qualification or Graduate Degree in Professional Course with NET qualification or Post Graduate Degree in Professional

Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated expertise and experience in mathematical modelling of biological systems using ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and agent-based approaches.
