Job Description
Doctoral Programme
The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) is looking
for exceptionally motivated students interested in pursuing interdisciplinary
research in natural and engineering sciences, social sciences, humanities and
the arts. Unencumbered by the constraints of traditional disciplinary PhD
programmes, NIAS PhD students have a unique opportunity to broaden their
intellectual horizons beyond their narrow training during their thesis research
in one of the listed areas. NIAS not only values such cross-pollination of
ideas but encourages and provides the necessary support to its students to
develop interdisciplinary orientation to problem-solving. This
interdisciplinary ethos is also reflected in the work of its faculty and
research scholars.
Students who are applying against Project based PhD vacancy will have to pursue research theme only within the profile and parameters of the respective project. They are not permitted to shift the fellowship from the Project under which they have been taken, to work in the general pool or in another Project.
