IISER Bhopal invites applications for “Junior/Senior Research Fellows” in Computational Physics/ Chemistry.

Project description

The project involves development of a comprehensive toolkit for computer simulations of photo- induced phenomena based on the combination of two excited state dynamics approaches: ab initio techniques (based on TDDFT), and open quantum system approaches (based on simple models). Target applications shall include solar energy conversion (photovoltaics, water-splitting catalysts, solar fuels, etc.), opto-electronic materials, photochemistry and photobiology.

Eligibility

  • Essential Qualifications: M.Sc. in Physics, Chemistry (physical chemistry specialisation preferred) or related disciplines with good academic record (first class/division or minimum CPI of 7.0/10.0). Candidates with experience with computational physics/chemistry, programming in Python, familiarity with electronic structure codes will be preferred.
  • Candidate must have qualified a National Eligibility Test (UGC, CSIR, LS, GATE, etc.) with a valid rank/score at the time of applying for this post.
  • Candidates with research experience of 2 years or more may be considered for SRF.

Duration

  • 5 months (could be extended upon satisfactory performance).

Deadline

  • The selection will commence on 24 May, 2022, but the call will remain open until suitable candidates are found.

Application

Applications containing cover letter, a detailed CV, name and address of 2 referees as well as a brief writeup on any research work experience should be sent by email ONLY to [email protected] on or before 24th May, 2022. Shortlisted candidates will be called for an online interview.

Salary

  • Rs. 31,000 (JRF) / 35,000 (SRF) p.m. + HRA (16%) (as per experience).
