An Invitation to take up Research positions (JRF) in the field of Nanomaterials and Nanofluids
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research is actively engaged in cutting edge experimental research in the areas of nanomaterials and nanofluids. The Centre has made several breakthroughs in both fundamental aspects and applications of nanofluids and is one of the world leaders in ferrofluid technology. The important research areas include synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials & nanofluids, development of novel sensors and devices etc. We have many advanced equipments for characterizing nanofluids. Recently, we launched a major research program for developing advanced nanomaterials and nanofluids for basic research and new applications. We seek to recruit highly motivated students to pursue research on the above topics. The successful candidates will enroll for Ph.D under HBNI and have excellent career opportunities after completion.
