We are always looking for innovative staff to extend our dynamic team. CBMB is an inspiring place of work, offering its staff a string of unique advantages.
Scientific independence is an important value at CBMB; our research groups follow their own scientific interests and develop the issues important for them without institutional prescriptions. The driving forces are creative curiosity and a desire to set milestones in modern life sciences. A Scientific Advisory Board made up of top international scientists meets annually to give feedback and submit proposals for the further development of research.
Scientific success at CBMB benefits to a significant extent from a diverse array of scientific service facilities, the variety and quality of these units being unmatched by most top international research institutes with support spanning a broad range of areas including conventional and high throughput sequencing, state of the art mass spectrometry analysis, various microscopy and electron microscopy systems, and a bioinformatics unit for example. With very few exceptions, all of these facilities are provided free of charge for the scientist.
We care about the quality of life for our staff, various social activities, such as weekly social hours, annual outing and ski holiday, as well as various retreats all help in quickly making contacts between colleagues. Our own cafeteria provides refreshments while our on-campus kindergarten assists young parents. Additionally, Chennai itself is an exciting and international city rich in nature, music and culture. CBMB is just four underground stops from the city centre.
Internally organised events such as the annual micro-symposium on small RNAs, the student organised PhD symposium or the seminar programme with speakers from around the world foster contact with renowned scientists, often leading to fruitful international collaboration.
A string of administrative service departments support scientists in everyday organisational necessities such as submission of research applications/grants, the authorities, production of scientific illustrations and presentations, organising travel or PR work. An in-house workshop for made-to-order apparatus and modern IT infrastructure are also available.
