Dear Professors<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">I
am seeking a Post Doctoral Research
Fellow/ Research Scientist position at your eminent laboratory in
the area of Plant Breeding and Genetics .<span>I have recently submitted my thesis for the degree of PhD in The Dept of Genetics, University of Delhi
South Campus, India under <font face="Arial, sans-serif">Prof.
Akshay K. Pradhan</font></span><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><b> </b></font><span>as
my PI, in the area of Plant Breeding and Genetics,and </span><span>My
thesis deals with the '</span><b><i>Molecular mapping of yield
components and seed glucosinolate traits in Brassica juncea'</i></b></div>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;" align="justify"><font face="Thorndale AMT, serif"><span><font size="2"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">In
my 4and ½ years experience in PhD I have developed skills in
techniques such as Molecular mapping of QTL, Application of MAS in
plant breeding, Mapping and dissection of genes involved in
glucosinolate biosynthesis, Evolutionary genomics, and Comparative
genomics</span>.</font></span><font size="3"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span><font size="2">My
education in M.Sc. (Genetics & Plant Breeding)</font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">
</font><font size="2">has been particularly broad by Indian standards,
as this degree aims to give us a broad understanding of the many
fields related to Molecular Genetics, Seed science and technology,
Quantitative Genetics, Molecular Cytogenetics, Plant breeding, Tissue
culture and Minor Biochemistry which included General Biochemistry,
Statistical methods and biometry. I have also independently handled a
project in my post graduation and submitted thesis on '</font></span><font size="2"><b><i>Evaluation
and characterization of rice germplasm collections under upland
ecosystem'</i></b></font></font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;" align="justify"><font face="Thorndale AMT, serif"><font size="3"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">During
my entire academic career starting from B.Sc (Agriculture) till PhD I
have been a study scholarship holder sponsored by Govt. of India
given only to the top 10% students</span></font>.<span><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">I
have interest in computers and developed expertise in softwares like
NTSYSpc; DNASTAR, JoinMap, MapQTL, MapInspect, Mapchart and
WindQTLCartographer and statistical softwares. My proficiency in
Molecular biology techniques including PCR methodology DNA
manipulation and cloning techniques, DNA sequencing using automated
DNA sequencer, Molecular (RAPD, SSR, AFLP, RFLP,SNP genotyping)
markers, High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Near
infrared spectroscopy (NIR)Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and
Maintenance, evaluation and characterization of germplasm, Breeding
self and cross pollinated crop, Genome mapping, comparative genomics
and evolutionary biology and a good knowledge of statistical methods
in crop breeding gives me confidence to apply </font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">.</font></font></span></font></font><br>
