JRF/PF Environmental Science job position in Doon University  on contractual basis

JRF/PF Environmental Science 

Project : Data assimilation of satellite Observations into the regional chemical transport model (CTM) for air quality reanalyses and forecasts over India

Funded by : Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), DST, Govt of India

PI : Dr. Ujjwal Kumar, School of Environment & Natural Resources (SENR)

Essential Qualification: M.Sc. or equivalent in Environmental Science/Atmospheric Science/Meteorology/Physical Sciences/Mathematical Sciences/Computer Science or in a similar closely related discipline from a recognized University/Institution.

Desirable Qualification : should have interest in atmospheric science particularly air quality modelling. Familiarity with at least one of the programming languages such as FORTRAN/C++ and should have flavour of MATLAB or PYTHON or IDL especially for visualisation purpose, Should be able to demonstrate working ability in UNIX environment.

Duration: One year, can be extended up to three years or coterminus with the project subject to the progress review of the candidate

Monthly Fellowship: Rs. 25,000/- + HRA for NET qualified candidates.

Rs. 16,000/ + HRA for non-NET candidatesAge Limit: Shall not be more than 28 years

Nature of work: Project will be carried out in different phases. The initial work will include running a chemical transport model (CTM) such as WRF-CHEM or LOTOS-EUROS in UNIX environment on HPC. The fellow is also expected to work with the satellite data such as MODIS-AOD and OMI-NO2. Finally, one of the data assimilation techniques would be deployed for the assimilation of satellite data into the model.

Project : Metal and Metal Chalcogenide Nanoparticles : Catalytic and Sensing Applications

Funded by : Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), DST, Govt of India

PI : Dr. Arun Kumar, Dept. of Chemistry, School of Physical Sciences

Essential Qualification: M.Sc. or equivalent in Chemistry from a recognized University/Institution.
Desirable Qualification :
(1) should have basic understanding , skills and a little practical experience in various characterization techniques including UV, IR, NMR, powder XRD, SEM, TEM.
(2) Should be able to perform organic reaction involving limited number of steps and to set up catalytic reactions with various concentration levels of catalyst.

Duration: One year, can be extended up to three years or coterminus with the project subject to the progress review.

Monthly Fellowship:Rs. 25,000/- + HRA for NET qualified candidates. ,Rs. 16,000/ + HRA for non-NET candidates.

Age Limit: Shall not be more than 28 years

Nature of work: Project will involve the development of nanoparticles of transition metals using organochalcogen compounds as stabilizers. Syntheses of such compounds are also the part of project. Newly developed nanoparticles will be used as catalysts for various chemical transformations viz. C−C coupling reactions, C−N coupling reactions. Exploration of sensing applications of nanoparticles for gases like H2, H2O2 will be the last stage of research project.
