Associateship Scheme
 
The Centre's scientists would like to interact with young physicists, chemists and mathematicians who have permanent employment in a college, university department or a research institution in India. For this purpose, we would like to offer Associateships to those who have reasonable overlap with the research interests of the Centre's Faculty. The Associateship will be for a period of four years. The Associate can visit the Centre for a total period of six months during the four years, with a minimum of at least one month per year. The entire infrastructure of the Centre will be available to the Associate during his visit. In addition his travel from his home institution and Kolkata and back as well as an honorarium which will cover his board and accommodation in the Centre's Guest House will be made available to him.

Those willing to avail of the Associateship, please write or e-mail to :

Ph.D. Programme in New Areas
 

S.N. Bose National Centre is an autonomous institution funded by DST. It is committed to research and teaching in different frontier areas of basic sciences. Recently the Centre has embarked on new areas of research and teaching including initiation of extensive experimental activities and would like to expand these activities in the coming years.

The new areas of research are focused on:

A. Nano Science and Technology

1. Synthesis of Nano materials
2. Physical measurements using scaling probe microscopy.
3. Mesoscopic Phenomena
4. Electronic Structure & Modelling
5. Nanolithography
6. Nanobiophysic

B. Theoretical Chemistry and Chemical Physics

1. Density functional theory, quantum fluid dynamics and their applications.
2. Atoms/molecules under intense/super-intense laser fields.
3. Atoms/molecules under strong magnetic fields.
4. Quantum chaos.
5. Computational quantum chemistry (novel molecules, nanoclusters, biomolecules, drug-DNA interaction modeling, etc.)
6. Theoretical spectroscopy and relaxation phenomena.
7. Simulation studies and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Applications are invited from CSIR-UGC NET (with fellowship) and NET (LS) qualified candidates for Ph.D. research. Candidates with M.Sc. in Chemistry/Physics may apply on plain paper with full biodata including photocopies of marksheets and NET qualification certificate to:

The short listed candidates will be called for an interview at the Centre. The final selection will be made based on the interview. Candidates are also selected through JEST.

 
 
Position for Research Associate / Junior Research Fellow to Work in Indo-German Project
 
Applications are invited for Research Associate and Junior Research Fellow positions to work in a Indo-German co-operative partner-group project program entitled "Clarification of chemical bonds and physical properties of new materials" . The partner-group is headed
by Dr. Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta and will be working in close collaboration with the group of Prof. O. K. Andersen in Max-Planck Institute, Stuttgart, Germany. The partner-group is established for three years (starting
January, 2005) with possibility of extension for another two years. The salary for the Research Associate position is maximum up to Rs 15,000 per month (consolidated) and that of the Junior Research Fellow is Rs. 8,000 per month + HRA as per rule. Interested candidates may contact Dr. Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta (tanusri@bose.res.in) for further clarification.
 
Applications should reach Dr. Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta (email applications are acceptable)
