Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Senior Research Fellow (SRF) works in the Cancer Biology and Epidemiology Laboratory within the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Kashmir, Hazratbal, Srinagar, under Principal Investigator Prof. Nazir Ahmad Dar on an ANRF-funded project investigating 14-3-3 regulation of the RhoA-HSPA1A signaling axis in cancer cell migration. The lab environment involves advanced molecular biology techniques, cell culture, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, transfection assays, and cancer metastasis research in a premier Himalayan university setting.

Posting & Transfer Policy

The position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the duration of the ANRF project (typically 2 to 3 years), subject to satisfactory annual progress evaluations by the Principal Investigator and funding agency.

Career & Promotion Ladder
