Applications invited for Post Doctoral Research Fellowship Program (PDRF)

Fellowship title: Applications invited for Post Doctoral Research Fellowship Program (PDRF)

Deadline: 10^th April 2019

About Fellowship:

IISER Tirupati has an active Post-doctoral Research Program to enable highly motivated young researchers to conduct research in the frontier areas of Science and Technology.

Applications are invited twice a year, in April and October, for appointment of Postdoctoral Research Fellows (PDRF) in the various research areas. These positions are open for candidates with 0-5 years of experience after obtaining PhD degree in related areas. Candidates who have submitted their thesis and awaiting award of degree may also apply. Candidates should provide evidence of having carried out high quality research during or after their Ph. D. program. The award will be initially for one year, with an extension for one more year after review of performance.

PDRFs have to get associated with a specific research group depending upon the research and facilities / mentorship required to carry-out research. It is expected that before the application is made, interested candidates should contact faculty working in the below mentioned research areas at IISER Tirupati and identify a research project with the mentor to host the Fellowship. Applications are invited for PDRFs in Mathematics in the following areas of research.

• Algebraic Geometry (Prof. D. S. Nagaraj)
• Number Theory, Complex Geometry (Dr. Anilatmaja Aryasomayajula)
• Algebraic and Differential Topology (Dr. Subhash B)
• Representation Theory, Automorphic Forms (Dr. Venketasubramanian C G)
• Riemannian Geometry (Dr. Gururaja H A)
• Algebraic Geometry, Vector Bundles (Dr. Souradeep Majumder)
• Harmonic Analysis, Functional Analysis (Dr. R. Lakshmi Lavanya)
• Algebraic Geometry, Algebraic Topology, K-theories (Dr. Girja Shanker Tripathi)
• Representation Theory, Automorphic Forms (Dr. Arnab Mitra)
• Number Theory, Galois Representations (Dr. Shalini Bhattacharya)

Fellowship: Rs. 47,000 /- p.m + HRA as per GOI rules if the candidate produces the Ph. D. certificate. Otherwise, Rs. 35,000 /-p.m + HRA as per GOI rules for those candidates whose Ph. D. degree is awaited; however, the candidate has to produce a letter from competent authority by stating that the thesis has been submitted and the final viva/defense is pending. Nominal research grant will be available under this program. Applications of selected candidates may also be forwarded to DST-SERB through the Institute for consideration of financial support.
