Advertisement for Scienti�c PositionsThe Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology (Government of India) has established the Translational Health Science andTechnology Institute (THSTI), an autonomous institution, as a part of the interdisciplinary Health Biotech Science Cluster, located in Faridabad, Haryana,in the National Capital Region. Major Indian and overseas institutions are mentoring the development of the THSTI. The THSTI is designed to be adynamic and interactive organization with a mission to conduct innovative translational research and develop research collaborations across disciplinesand professions to accelerate the extension of concepts to the improvement of human health. The other members of the cluster include the RegionalCenter for Biotechnology (RCB) under the aegis of UNESCO, with which THSTI will have seamless scienti�c collaboration to achieve interdisciplinaryexpertise. The cluster institutions will have access to state of the art experimental animal facility and platform technology resources.

THSTI intends to set up programs of research in a number of interface areas of relevance to translational research. One major area planned is thebiology of childhood diseases and developmental health. This interdisciplinary research programme will be expected to conduct hypothesis-generatingand hypothesis-driven research on the biological basis of childhood health and diseases. The generated knowledge will be incorporated in THSTIinstitutional networks developing diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Such an interdisciplinary effort will need to knit together expertise from the �eldsof pediatrics, infectious disease, microbiology, immunology, cell andmolecular biology, systems biology, imaging studies, clinical trials and epidemiology,among others. THSTI is looking for highly motivated individuals with expertise in any relevant areas with interests in the child biology domain.

Appointments in this programme will be offered Assistant Professor upwards at various levels depending on the quantum of experience and the qualityof the scienti�c productivity.
