We are constantly seeking to have motivated graduate students, who are interested to pursue PhD thesis work on cryo-EM structural biology, please have a look at the IIT-KGP official PhD program. Once you are qualified for such a programme, you are most welcome to discuss your Ph. D. project work with Dr. Puja Majumder.
IIT Kharagpur has internationally renowned undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in different areas. If you are a student here and is interested in our research and want to pursue your undergraduate or postgraduate thesis, please contact Dr. Puja Majumder directly for possible directions. We are looking for people with background in biochemistry. Also, if you are in any stream of engineering with a bit of experience in coding (python preferable), give us a shout for a stint in our group, if you fancy tinkering with real-world bioinformatics problems relevant to antiphage defense systems!
