Join us!

We welcome motivated postdocs, JRFs, and graduate students who want to join us. If you are committed to research in evolution or ecology, read on!

Please read and think about our research before you approach me for a position. Read some of our papers so that you know what kind of work we do. If you find our research interesting, please email me with your CV and a brief description of your research interests. I cannot respond to emails that do not include this information.

Summer interns: We are not accepting summer interns in 2025.

MSc project interns: Please write by Oct/Nov 2025 if you are interested in working with us for your MSc thesis in 2026.

PhD applicants: PhD students either join the lab through the joint NCBS admissions, or register externally with UGC/CSIR/equivalent fellowships. If you fall in either category and are interested in our work, please email me. I would like to accept 1-2 students in the Aug 2025 term.

Postdoc applicants: We currently have one funded postdoctoral position for bioinformatics analysis of mutation biases in bacteria, and welcome applications from candidates who have already received their PhD degree. Even if your research interests are not perfectly aligned with ongoing projects in the lab, I will be happy to discuss potential projects and funding possibilities. Please write in with your CV and a brief statement about your research interest.

JRFs/Project assistants: We are interested in recruiting a project assistant with prior training in bioinformatics or insects, and a strong interest in evolution. If you have a UGC/CSIR/equivalent fellowship, even better! Please write to me.
