Raman Research Institute (RRI) Bangalore, provides Post-doctoral Fellowships (Research Associates) for Indian Students for pursuing research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemistry, Physics subjects.
Post-doctoral Fellows are expected to be able to work independently at the Raman research Institute and have the academic freedom of choice in research area and collaboration. It is not mandatory that they work in any specific research program or attached to specific research staff of the Institute.
RRI values interactions and does not desire that Post-doctoral Fellows work in isolation. Participation in the academic activities of the Institute and collaboration with other research staff is encouraged. Many of the research groups are engaged in experimental activities and opportunities may exist for post-doctoral fellows to participate. The appointments do not entail any teaching responsibilities.
Research areas : Astronomy and Astrophysics (Cosmology and Galaxy Formation, Normal and Active Galaxies, Clusters of Galaxies, The Galaxy & the Interstellar Medium, The Intergalactic Medium, Neutron Stars and Pulsars,Polarization and Geometric Phases ); Chemistry (Synthesis and Characterization of Liquid Crystals,Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces); Light and Matter Physics (Bose Einstein Condensation, Laser Cooling & Trapping of Atoms, Ultra-cold Molecules, Propagation of Light in Random Media, Quantum Optics and Quantum logic, Nonlinear Optics of Nanomaterials, Ultrafast Phenomena, Intense Laser Field Interactions); Signal Processing, Imaging and Instrumentation(Radio and X-Ray Astronomy, Liquid Crystal Displays);Soft Condensed Matter (Liquid Crystals, Amphiphilic Systems, Colloids, Polymer Physics, Surface Science, Experimental Biological Physics) and Theoretical Physics (Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics, Classical & Quantum Gravity, Gravitational Waves, Physics in Biology and Differential Geometry in Physics).
Provisions
Fellowships is paid for two years and are usually extended to a third year, following review. The Fellows will get a stipend of Rs.36,000 to Rs.40,000, depending on their experience. They will also be provided accommodation and partial assistance with relocation.
The candidate must have a doctorate degree in the relevant subject. Applicants have professional research interest and proven track record in areas with significant overlap or association with the ongoing and envisaged activities at the Institute so that scientific interactions and collaborations take place.
Selection Procedure
The candidate may be invited to visit the Institute and give a seminar and interact with the research faculty at the Institute, as part of the selection process.
Applications for Post-Doctoral Fellowships are always welcome and there are no closing dates. Offers are usually made in mid-February and mid-August. The processing time for a post-doctoral application is between four to six months.
Interested candidates should submit their (a) Curriculum Vitae, (b) List of Publications, (c) A resume detailing their previous research and other academic activities, (d) A statement outlining their anticipated research activities while at the Raman Institute and (e) Three letters of reference from people familiar with your work to be sent directly to director@rri.res.in. The letters of reference should reach within three weeks from the date of application. Such letters will be made available to only those involved in decision making.
Applicants may inform referees that RRI anticipates receiving considered comments, foremost, on the suitability of the candidate for a fellowship at RRI; additionally, on the demonstrated ability and potential for independent comprehensive work – both in identifying new research problems and taking ideas to conclusion. RRI would like to know how long the referee has known the applicant and in what capacity. RRI would like to have the comments of the referee on the track record and ability of the candidate to interact and communicate effectively with peers, including comments on the experience of the referee in their interactions with the candidate and an assessment on whether the candidate might be able to adapt comfortably to living conditions prevailing in India and at RRI.
Applications and supporting letters should be in soft copy. The preferred format is PDF files. To avoid confusion all application files should be attached to a single email message. These may be sent to director@rri.res.in
