About this position
We are inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position in an interdisciplinary joint programme between Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani and IISER Tirupati. The project focuses on the direct selection of RNA-based fluorescent light-up aptamer (FLAP) biosensors using microfluidics to detect and study metabolite dynamics in live cells.
This opportunity is especially relevant for students interested in Chemical Biology, Organic Chemistry, Synthetic Biology, RNA Biology, high-throughput screening, spectroscopy, and microfluidics. The selected PhD scholar will work with highly interdisciplinary teams at IISER Tirupati and BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, contributing to RNA-based biosensor synthesis and ultra-high-throughput screening/selection of molecules.
Funding: Monthly fellowship of Rs. 37,000 + HRA.
Application deadline: November 05, 2026.
Interested candidates should apply using the application link shared in the post and complete the submission before the deadline.
