Join the Lab
The Biosensing & Biophysics Lab is always glad to hear from motivated students drawn to what we work on. There are no fixed openings to wait for. If the work here speaks to you, write.
You do not need to arrive as the finished article. Whether your strength is the wet lab, the computer, or the theory behind both, there is a path through this lab, and we will help you build whatever you are missing along the way. An experimentalist can learn to model, a modeller can learn the wet-lab skills, and most people here end up doing some of each.
To apply, email rahulag@iitg.ac.in with your CV and a short note on what interests you, be it a problem, a method, or a particular theme that caught your eye. That is enough to start a conversation.
