Hop On
We are always looking for talented and motivated students and postdoctoral researchers to join our group, with opportunities available throughout the year. Applicants should have (i) a strong foundation in computer science, particularly algorithms, data structures, and discrete mathematics; and (ii) extensive programming and software engineering experience. Prior research experience and demonstrated contributions to a challenging problem in computer science, computational biology, or data science, is a plus.
Prospective graduate students
Masters and PhD admissions happen based on the procedures setup by IISc. This process also involves interview with the Computational and Data Sciences department. Occasionally, we also recruit PhD students through the Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences program. You can also view the presentation slides which we used to introduce our lab to prospective students in Aug 2026. If you have any questions about the admission process, or our lab in general, you can email the PI.
Prospective research staff or post-doctoral researchers
Please email us to discuss potential opportunities. In your email, briefly describe your background and scientific contributions, highlight specific papers from our lab that interest you, and provide your anticipated timeline, including your preferred start date and intended duration of stay. We expect a commitment to at least one year of full-time research.
Please do not email regarding remote work, short-term summer/winter internships, or six-month dissertation projects. Such inquiries will not be considered.
