Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM) is dedicated to scientific research and science education of international standards. Traditionally, teaching has been segregated from research in undergraduate science curricula in our country. IISERs were established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, to bridge this dichotomy.
Applications are sought for a DBT funded postdoctoral position (Research Associateship-I) in plant phylogenetics and biogeography, under the Vanasiri Evolutionary Ecology Group of Ullasa Kodandaramaiah.
- Project details : This is a collaborative project involving Ullasa Kodandaramaiah and scientists from JNTBGRI. The goal of the project is carry out historical biogeographic and phylogeographic analyses within a comparative biogeography framework to understand the factors affecting evolution of distributions of plants in the Western Ghats mountain system in India. The duties of the selected candidate will include some field work along with collaborators to sample plants. The major part of the work will involve DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses. Collaborations on other projects in plant ecology/evolution between the fellow and our research group will be encouraged and facilitated. Candidates are welcome to contact me for more information about the project.
