Research Personnel, Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate I

This role is ideal for candidates holding an M.Sc. in Physics with at least 55% marks (or equivalent CGPA). Individuals with NET/GATE qualifications are highly preferred for a higher fellowship. Strong programming skills in Python, C, or C++ and prior experience or a keen interest in astronomy, astrophysics, data analysis, scientific computing, and machine learning are desirable. The position suits enthusiastic researchers keen on working with large astronomical datasets and cosmological simulations for a project duration of four years.

Candidates without an M.Sc. in Physics or those not meeting the minimum academic percentage are ineligible. This is a project-based, contractual position, so individuals seeking permanent government employment may find it unsuitable. A lack of genuine interest in advanced research concerning galaxy evolution and cosmic web studies would also make this a poor fit.

Visva-Bharati is a Central University of national importance. Working on an ANRF-sponsored project in cutting-edge areas like galaxy evolution and cosmological simulations offers significant research exposure, skill development in advanced data analysis and machine learning, and networking opportunities. This experience is invaluable for those aspiring to a career in academia or research, with potential for publications and further academic pursuits.
