TWAS-S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences Postgraduate
Fellowships in Physical Sciences
TWAS and the
S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata,
India have agreed to offer five fellowships annually to young
foreign scientists from developing countries who wish to pursue
research leading towards a Ph.D in physical sciences.
Programme Details
* The fellowships, tenable at the S.N. Bose National Centre for
Basic Sciences in Kolkata, India, will be awarded to young students
from developing countries to enable them to pursue studies leading
towards a Ph.D degree in physical sciences.
* Admission to the Ph.D programme at the S.N. Bose National Centre
will depend on the successful completion of course work (about one
year's duration).
* Successful candidates will be provided with an S.N. Bose National
Centre "Junior Research Fellowship" starting from the
first year, amounting to Rs 8,000.00 per month as well as free
on-campus accommodation. In the event that accommodation on campus
is not available, an additional amount of Rs. 2,400.00 will be paid
towards house rent. The Centre may also provide travel expenses for
participation in conferences, seminars etc., on a case-by-case
basis.
* TWAS will cover the cost of international air travel (economy
class and shortest route) as well as other expenses incurred in
connection with the travel to India and back home.
Research Areas carried out
at the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences
* Electronic structure and physics of materials
* Soft condensed matter, complex systems and statistical physics
* High energy physics and mathematical physics
* Optics, mesoscopic phenomena and chemical physics
* Astrophysics
* Experimental physics: Magnetism, in particular manganites,
Birkhaussen effect, Mössbauer spectroscopy, superconductivity,
mechanical stress-strain relaxation, dielectric spectroscopy in the
nano and pico time scales, as well as noise measurements in terms of
resistance fluctuation spectroscopy.
* Nano science and technology: Synthesis of nano materials; physical
measurements using scaling probe microscopy; mesoscopic phenomena;
electronic structure and modelling; nanolithography; nanobiophysics.
* Theoretical chemistry: Density functional theory, quantum fluid
dynamics and applications; atoms/molecules under intense or
super-intense laser fields; atoms/molecules under strong magnetic
fields; quantum chaos; computational quantum chemistry (novel
molecules, nanoclusters, biomolecules, drug-DNA interaction
modelling); theoretical spectroscopy and relaxation phenomena;
simulation studies and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
Eligibility :
Candidates for these fellowships must meet the following criteria:
* be a maximum age of 30 years on 31 December of the application
year;
* be nationals of a developing country (other than India) and be
employed at a university or research institution there;
* hold a Master's degree in physics, mathematics or physical
chemistry.
