Applications are Invited at IISER for the Post of Junior Research Fellow

The Government of India, through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), and based on the recommendation of Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, decided to create five undergraduate science universities. One of them is located at Kolkata and was started from 2006. Named as the INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (IISER), these IISERs are designed to reach the prestigious position in the global setting that IISc, IIMs and IITs presently enjoy.
Each IISER is an autonomous institution awarding its own degrees. The central theme of the IISER is to integrate education with research so that undergraduate teaching as well as doctoral and postdoctoral research work are carried out in symbiosis. Students are encouraged to carry out research projects during the vacation periods in the first four years of their Masters programme in various research institutes outside IISER.

Applications are invited for a Junior Research fellow (JRF) position in the Department of Chemical Sciences, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata in the DST project titled “Template-assisted synthetic methods to develop new luminescent Nanoarchitectures and their applications”.

Project duration: The project is for 3 years. The initial appointment will be for a year and can be extended for 3 years on satisfactory performance.

Qualification: M.Sc. in Chemistry is encouraged to apply. A prior experience in pharmaceutical or bio-related projects is preferred.

Fellowship: Rs. 16,000 + HRA per month
