MADRAS – POST DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP 2011 – INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

It is proposed to offer a number of Institute Post­Doctoral Fellowships (PDF) at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.(IIT Madras). It is a temporary research position which may be offered for those who seek to choose research as a profession. The research work during the post­doctoral period can be in areas that are of interest, both to the post­doctoral fellows and the Institute.(Institute henceforth refers to IIT Madras) The presence of the post­doctoral fellows at the Institute will further enhance the research culture and output of the Institute and help promote inter­disciplinary research. It is a transition phase which can also help a fresh doctorate transform into an independent researcher before taking up a research career.

Eligibility : Candidates with a Ph.D. Degree or who have submitted their theses for the Ph.D degree in appropriate disciplines and with consistently good academic record and research potential can apply for the PDF positions in any case within five years after completion of Ph.D. ­ A detailed research proposal has to be submitted along with the application. At least two letters of recommendation/reference from peers regarding the research capabilities and other attributes of the applicant must be submitted along with the application. ­ The candidates selected for the PDF will be pursuing independent research at the Institute.

However, it is desirable that such candidates if selected will be associated with a faculty member other than their Ph.D supervisor/s.
