Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified research professionals holding a Ph.D., MD, MS, MDS, or an equivalent degree. Candidates with MVSc/M.Pharm/M.E/M.Tech degrees and a minimum of three years of relevant research, teaching, design, and development experience, coupled with at least one SCI publication, are also well-suited. Expertise in first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and related advanced computational techniques is highly desirable. It suits individuals looking for a temporary research assignment in a prestigious scientific institution.

Candidates without the specified high-level academic qualifications (Ph.D./equivalent or Master's with significant experience and publication) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find this temporary position unsuitable. Individuals without a strong background in theoretical calculations and computational techniques relevant to materials science/physics may struggle with the desirable qualifications.

Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) is a renowned autonomous institution under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, known for cutting-edge scientific research. A temporary position here offers excellent exposure to advanced research environments and enhances a researcher's profile significantly. While temporary, such roles often lead to further academic or research opportunities within esteemed institutions.
