PhD Positions in Mathematical and Computational Biology at Translational Health Science and Technology Institute

The Complex Analysis Group at the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), India, is inviting applications for two PhD positions. The group, led by Professor Samrat Chatterjee, is part of the Computational and Mathematical Biology Centre and focuses on understanding the mechanisms of biological phenomena and disease progression using advanced mathematical and computational tools. Research in the lab spans interdisciplinary areas at the intersection of mathematics, biology, and computer science, with a strong emphasis on computational modeling, gene signature identification, and biomedical data analysis. Applicants should have a background in mathematical sciences and are encouraged to apply if they hold a valid fellowship (UGC, CSIR, NBHM) or have qualified for CSIR-UGC NET (category-2 or category-3) or possess a valid GATE score. The lab's recent work includes developing computational models for disease prediction, identifying molecular signatures from omics data, and integrating multi-scale MRI features for glioblastoma research. The group is dedicated to advancing knowledge in computational biology and developing innovative approaches to complex biological problems. Funding for these positions is typically provided through external fellowships such as UGC, CSIR, or NBHM, or through qualifying national exams like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE, which offer stipends and tuition coverage as per government norms. Interested candidates should review the detailed advertisement (see attached PDF) and contact Professor Samrat Chatterjee for further information. The application deadline is December 21, 2025.
