Job description

Project Research Scientist–II (ICMR-Non-Medical)

CSIR–Central Drug Research Institute (CSIR-CDRI), Lucknow, India

Applications are invited from motivated and enthusiastic researchers for an upcoming project position to investigate the functional roles of parasite proteins across different life‑cycle stages of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium.

Research Focus

• Functional characterization of parasite proteins during blood, mosquito, and liver stages.
• Genetic engineering and molecular characterization of Plasmodium parasites.
• Proteomics and RNA‑sequencing to investigate molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways.

Desired Expertise

• Candidates with research experience in Plasmodium biology, genetic manipulation, molecular biology, proteomics, and/or RNA‑sequencing, flow cytometry are encouraged to apply.
• Experience in parasite phenotyping and functional genomics will be an advantage.
