CSIR-CCMB | Multiple positions | Full-Time | ONSITE | Hyderabad, India

Keywords: Genomics, Bioinformatics, COVID19, Breast Cancer

Come join a group of scientists working at the intersection of genomics and computer science to address problems relevant to healthcare in India and across the world. CCMB[1] is currently looking to fill multiple positions in various genomics projects including but not limited to COVID genomics, population genomics, cancer genomics, and single cell genomics.

Pay: ₹38,500/- to ₹1,25,000/- per month, based on qualifications and experience.

Minimum Qualifications:

For senior positions: PhD/M.Tech/M.E in Life Sciences/Computer Sciences/Related fields

For junior positions: M.Sc/B.Tech/B.E in Life Sciences/Computer Sciences/Related fields

Desirable Qualifications:

For senior positions: A demonstrable track record of successful implementation/execution of a project in any of the following fields:

Population Genomics, Clinical Genomics, Cancer Genomics, de novo Genome assembly, Metagenomics and microbial genomics, Statistical analysis of biological data particularly in the context of Genomics. Development of computational tools/algorithms/data visualization.

Experience in handling high performance computing environments, cloud computing services, server maintenance, general purpose GPU computing, AI/ML, and other hardware related proficiency will be considered favorably.

Track record must be proven either with high impact publications in SCI-indexed journals, or profiles of source code repositories such as github, or a certificate from the organization to which the candidate contributed earlier.

For junior positions: Good programming knowledge with proficiency in at least one language such as C, C++, R, Python, JS, or Perl, as demonstrated by publications or github profile or other code repositories. Should be well versed with Linux/bash/command line interface, and have the ability to create and modify custom pipelines for data analysis.

Experience with analysis of population level genomic data, clinical genomics, de novo genome assembly, cancer genomics, or metagenomics will be considered favorably

If this is something that interests you, please share your CV and a cover letter (in a para or two) that outlines your relevant expertise and skill set to Dr Divya Tej Sowpati at tej <at> ccmb <dot> res <dot> in.

More info about us:

CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular biology is a premier research organization in Hyderabad, India, working on all aspects of basic and applied biology. We are a household name in the field of genomics in India. We have been at the forefront of COVID19 genomics since March 2020, and have contributed to multiple aspects of COVID19 research, testing, diagnostics, and surveillance since the last 16 months.

Recently, we received several million dollars of funding to tackle the pandemic in India using various genomic technologies. This includes genomic surveillance, tracking and identifying new viral variants that may be of interest/concern, waste water and zoonotic surveillance etc. In addition to this, we are also funded well in other aspects of genomics such as population and cancer genomics.

We are currently looking for several talented and motivated individuals at all levels to join us in contributing to these large scale, multi-institute collaborative genomics projects of national importance. If selected, your work will involve one or more of the following:

Large scale (genomic/epidemiological) data analysis

Development or refinement of algorithms that improve the speed and accuracy of data analysis

Data dissemination using web portals

Data visualization/Statistics

Senior positions will involve leading a small team of junior devs/bioinformaticians in the above mentioned topics.

We typically use Python and R for data analysis, and our web portals are typically based on VueJS/Django/MongoDB, running on Ubuntu/CentOS servers. However, we welcome all languages and technologies.


Thanks for sharing the payscale too. IMHO, the pay is not good enough to attract any computer science graduates, let alone PhD's


It does match the regex. "pti" is a substring in "exception"


Thanks. I feel stupid, I looked that line up, down, and sideways for a match :/


Isn't that what GP is saying though? Cars and bikes are superior to running in the fact that they take you to the destination faster. But a person running everywhere will undoubtedly have better development of their leg muscles than a person driving around (assuming no other physical activity). So, at least in the context of leg muscle development, running is superior to cars and bikes.


Am I missing something? Admittedly I have not traveled much internationally, but I don't remember customs ever asking me to unlock my phone.. I have only traveled to and from Europe though. So maybe it's different in the US?


It's not normal, but it can happen if they decide to give you special attention.


I'm sorry I couldn't understand from your comment, are you saying an electric is harder on your fingers as compared to an acoustic? If that's what you meant, I must disagree, and please read the full comment. Else, it's my misunderstanding of your comment, and I shall delete my reply.

Electric guitar's strings are far more easier on your fingers compared to a steel-stringed acoustic (not comparing classical guitars with nylon strings). Just about everything is easier to play on an electric, starting with barre chords to slides to bends.

Maybe one reason for more blistering fingers on an electric is because people are more likely to do stuff like slides and bends in solos whereas many people use an acoustic just for chords. But I assure you, if you attempt to do the same stuff on an acoustic, it's going to be far more taxing on your fingers.


Correct, I have been playing both electric and acoustic guitar for 25 years and what you say reflects my experience. Playing acoustic guitar is more difficult, requires more strength in the fingers and will give you calluses on the first months of playing.


I put .010 - .046 on acoustics. Problem solved.


Regarding your first question, I'm not from a tech related field, and most people around me generally use Google for recommendations. And Google always ranks famous tech blogs higher on the list. So.. I would say yes.


I'm not an expert, but as I understand, they don't actually use password fields on phishing pages. Instead they use normal text fields and fake password dots. So I'm not sure if they can be identified as login pages.

ETA: another parent comment talks about the same thing.


In general they should use EV site wide rather than just login pages just to help confirm it is the correct legitimate website.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the idea behind continuum in Windows 10?


That is indeed what continuum is. Right now it's limited by the fact that you can only run Universal Windows Apps (UWP) that support ARM.

This is exactly why x86-emulation-on-ARM (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/x86-em...) is a very exciting project from Microsoft.

As mobile chips continue to improve, emulating x86 becomes a viable way of tapping into the huge Windows ecosystem of applications when not running on battery power.

I think this is Microsoft's last shot of becoming relevant in the mobile space.


Unfortunately, that ecosystem wasn't designed with small touchscreens in mind, nor battery efficiency...


Bring your own screen, keyboard, and power supply. Continuum is a weird beast, I'm not exactly sure who would get something out of it even if app support was good.


If the phone hardware was more powerful, and the win32 app support was there, it could replace your PC. You'd have a USB-C dock, with keyboard, screen and mouse, into which you plug your phone. Your phone is your PC, and when you leave you take it with you along with all your files and all your software.

You could combine it with something like a nexdock to also turn it into a laptop. Would be cheaper than getting a phone, and a desktop pc and a laptop, and it would avoid all those nasty issues with keeping devices in sync.

The qualcomm 820 already performed at core m levels, and the 835 is 25% faster, so it should be fine if paired with enough ram and storage.


Sorry, I wrote GP with an extra thread in mind without referencing it, about how phones-as-desktops hasn't happened https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13333797

The problem isn't power. Phones have been powerful enough for about 5 years (since around iPhone 4s, as a means of dating it).


VDI which is what most large organizations are moving to. That computer on the desk is just a dumb terminal.
