National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI),
Mohali, is an autonomous R&D Institute under Department of Biotechnology,
Government of India. The institute carries out cutting edge research at the interface of
agricultural biotechnology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, food processing, postharvest
technology, and nutritional sciences. NABI has state of art facilities in the area of
genomics (ABI 3730xl, RT-PCR, DNA analyzer, Affymetrix Microarray system, bioanalyzer,
liquid handling system, automated DNA extraction
system, LCM, Mass-Array (sequenom), etc), proteomics (MALDI-TOF-TOF, QTOF,
nano-LC, LA-ICP-MS, HPLC, GCMS-MS, HP-TLC, UPLC, etc.), high performance computing facility, and food science. To
accelerate high quality research, applications are invited from motivated candidates with high
level of creativity, innovative research ideas and communication skills and drive for carrying
out research aiming at the following areas:
01 Iron bioavailability in food(s) and its health impact
01
02 BZIP transcription factors stability and specificity,
and epigenetics 01
03 Development, mapping and use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for wheat improvement. 1
04 Accelerated breeding for processing quality in wheat
