IISER Tirupati – Post Doctoral Research Fellowship (PDRF) Program
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH TIRUPATI (IISER Tirupati has an active Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship (PDRF) 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 post-doctoral fellows in the various research areas. These positions are open for candidates with 0-5 years of experience after obtaining Ph.D. 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 extensionfor 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.
How to apply: 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.
For details of the faculty and their research areas please visit: www.iisertirupati.ac.in/people/faculty
Candidates will be shortlisted based on the quality of their research work and proposal. The final selection will be made based on all the above criteria, specific area of research and performance in interview.
