1 Project Associate II vacancy at Institute of Life Sciences Bhubaneswar (ILS Bhubaneswar)
Institute of Life Sciences Bhubaneswar (ILS Bhubaneswar) is inviting eligible and interested candidates to attend a walk-in interview on 23-03-2026 to fill 1 post of Project Associate II.
| Post Name | Project Associate II |
| Project Name | Genome-wide association mapping of important agronomic traits in little millet (Panicum sumatrense) |
| Project Description | This project focuses on identifying the genetic basis of key agronomic traits in little millet, a highly climate-resilient orphan crop. By utilizing a high-quality haplotype-resolved genome assembly, researchers perform Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to link specific genetic variations with traits like drought tolerance, nutrient efficiency, and grain yield. The study leverages advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data to provide a precise genetic map, paving the way for molecular breeding and the development of superior millet varieties. It is funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF/DST). |
