Project Title

Studying Leishmania differentiation associated processes using multi-OMICS approach

Project Overview

About the Project

Join an exciting research initiative focused on understanding the complex biological processes underlying Leishmania differentiation through cutting-edge multi-OMICS methodologies. This project represents a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in parasitology and infectious disease biology using advanced genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics approaches.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct multi-OMICS analyses specifically focused on Leishmania differentiation processes Maintain and culture Leishmania parasites under various differentiation conditions Perform laboratory experiments related to promastigote-to-amastigote differentiation studies Execute sample preparation protocols for genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analyses Analyze and interpret complex biological datasets using specialized bioinformatics tools Monitor parasite viability and differentiation markers throughout experimental procedures Maintain detailed research records and contribute to scientific publications Collaborate with interdisciplinary research teams on Leishmania biology projects Present research findings at team meetings and scientific conferences Support grant writing and project reporting activities
Required Qualifications

Master's degree in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Parasitology, or related field

Minimum 1-2 years of hands-on experience working with Leishmania parasites

Demonstrated expertise in Leishmania cultivation, maintenance, and parasite handling protocols

Strong background in molecular biology and parasitology techniques Experience with axenic culture methods and parasite viability assays Knowledge of OMICS technologies and data analysis pipelines Excellent written and verbal communication skills Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
Essential Experience Requirements

Direct laboratory experience with Leishmania species (L. major, L. donovani, or L. infantum)

Proficiency in promastigote and amastigote culture techniques

Experience with Leishmania differentiation assays and stage-specific markers

Knowledge of parasite infectivity studies and host-parasite interactions

Familiarity with biosafety protocols for working with infectious agents
Preferred Qualifications

Experience with multiple Leishmania species and strains Hands-on experience with next-generation sequencing technologies applied to parasites Familiarity with proteomics and metabolomics workflows for parasitic organisms Experience with data visualization and scientific writing in parasitology Knowledge of pathway analysis and systems biology approaches in parasite research Previous work on parasite differentiation or development studies Experience with macrophage infection models
What We Offer

Competitive monthly salary of ?31,000 plus House Rent Allowance Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Leishmania research with international recognition Access to state-of-the-art parasitology laboratory facilities and BSL-2 containment Professional development and specialized training in advanced OMICS technologies Collaborative research environment with leading parasitologists and systems biologists Potential for co-authorship in high-impact parasitology and infectious disease journals Career advancement opportunities within established parasitology research programs
