We are looking for highly motivated students who are excited to work in integrative structural biology. The lab is an interdisciplinary environment and currently has students from biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering backgrounds. Folks who'd like to cross-train (e.g., biologists who are curious about programming, or computer scientists who'd like to develop tools for biology) are most welcome. We are a computational lab and students must be interested to do computer programming. Prior programming background is helpful, but an analytical bent of mind, curiosity, and initiative are more important. 

Lab positions

1. PhD students 

PhD students usually come through the NCBS-TIFR GS admissions. 

We are also now part of the new interdisciplinary TIFR-Pol PhD program for those who are from a quantitative background and are interested to pursue Biology research. 

Students with national fellowships (CSIR-NET, GATE, and others) are welcome to apply for the NCBS mid-term admissions. 

2. Postdoctoral positions

We have postdoctoral positions open for method development in structural biology. To apply, please contact Shruthi with a cover letter and CV and names of 2-3 references.

3. Masters thesis students, Summer internship, Project Assistant, JRFs 

Note: Summer internship positions for 2026 are filled. Your email in this regard would not receive a response.

These positions are for persons with previous computational biology/programming experience. 

Email Shruthi with your CV, Github account, and a short statement expressing why you want to train in this lab.
