Requirements

Qualifications
Ph.D. in Natural Product Chemistry/Organic Chemistry

Experience and exposure
to modern sophisticated chromatographic techniques e.g., HPLC, LC-MS, LC-MS/MS,
GC-MS etc. and their various applications in purification of organic molecules
from complex matrix and their usage in various usage in quantitative analysis.

A
good understanding on various advanced spectroscopic techniques may also be
required for identification and structure elucidation of the isolated molecules
e.g., 1H-NRM, 13C-NMR, various 2D-NMRs, FTIR, MS, etc.
Work Experience

Must have completed his doctorate working on
isolation, purification, and structural elucidation of bioactives/molecules
from the complex natural matrices e.g. medicinal and/or food plants or their
parts. Must be able to work independently and must be capable of providing
solutions to the current scientific/technical problems faced by the
industry. 

A
thorough understanding of scientific methods, research protocols, and data analysis
and interpretation

Exposure to enrichment
processes for purification of important bioactives from complex food matrices
and their in-vitro & in-vivo evaluation will be an added advantage.

Exposure
to analytical, microscopic techniques will be an added advantage.
Skill :
Isolation (chromatography, HPLC, GC/MS etc.),
identification, structure elucidation (1H, 13C, 2D-NMR, UV, IR, etc.) of minor
secondary metabolites of natural origin.
Understanding on in-vitro & in-vivo evaluation of
bio-actives
Knowledge
Isolation of minor components from natural matrices
(plant & plant parts), chromatographic purification, identification and
structure elucidation of molecules, spectroscopic analysis, preliminary
understanding on in vitro bioassays e.g., antioxidant profile, ORAC Value etc.
