Challenging Opportunities in Experimental Astronomy
The Raman Research Institute (www.rri.res.in) invites applications from motivated individuals with excellent academic background and research aptitude in Engineering, Physics, Engineering Physics or Computer Science to be a part of, contribute to, and embark on a career path towards taking on lead roles in
Experimental Astronomy. We are seeking individuals with a passion for design and development of specialized and purpose-built systems and software for pursuing frontline research on topical issues in modern astrophysics – individuals who wish a career in hands-on experimental astronomy using engineering and software skills along with a deep understanding of astronomy methods and astrophysics – to take
leadership roles in defining and pursuing the problems of tomorrow. Members of the Astronomy & Astrophysics group of the Institute have engaged in research building new and innovative radio telescopes in India and overseas, and built specialized receivers for international telescope facilities, which open and
explore new windows to our understanding of astrophysical phenomena. The engineering skills required for such activities include Signal and Image Processing, Antennas, Low-noise microwave receivers, High-speed analog and digital data transmission and processing, and Real-time and applications software. The group
also develops X-ray instruments for astronomical observations from space. Working in remote regions across the world is essential today in astronomy owing to radio frequency interference and light pollution; therefore, we seek individuals with an ability and eagerness for exploration and travel and working with teams in remote locations.

Know Our Research Institute: Raman Research Institute | RRI
Raman Research Institute
Overview The Raman Research Institute was founded in 1948 by the Indian physicist and Nobel laureate, Sir CV Raman, to continue his studies and basic research after he retired from the Indian Institute of Science. Sir CV Raman served as its director carrying on his personal research until his demise in 1970. It was funded personally by him and with donations from private sources.
History
In December 1934, the Government of Mysore gifted a plot of land in Bangalore to Professor Raman for the creation of a research institute. In the same year, the Indian Academy of Sciences was founded by Prof. Raman. Some years following the creation of the Raman Research Institute in 1948, Prof. Raman made a gift of various movable and immovable properties to the Academy for the use and benefit of the Raman Research Institute. After the Professor's demise in November 1970, the Academy created a public charitable trust: the Raman Research Institute Trust. The lands, buildings, deposits, securities, bank deposits, moneys, laboratories, instruments, and all other movable and immovable properties held by the Academy for the Raman Research Institute were transferred to the RRI Trust. The foremost function of the RRI Trust was to maintain, conduct and sustain the Raman Research Institute.
Organization
The Raman Research Institute is now an autonomous research institute engaged in research in basic sciences. In 1972, the RRI was restructured to become an aided autonomous research institute receiving funds from the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India. A set of Regulations and Bye-Laws were framed for its administration and management. Today, the main areas of research at the Institute are Astronomy & Astrophysics, Light & Matter Physics, Soft Condensed Matter and Theoretical Physics. The research activities include work in Chemistry, Liquid Crystals, Physics in Biology, and Signal Processing, Imaging & Instrumentation.
Raman Research Institute
The Director is the Chief Executive and Academic Officer and is responsible for the administration of the Institute. Appointed by the Raman Research Institute Trust by invitation, he exercises general supervision over the programmes and research projects of the institute.
The present Director is:

Summer Training:Raman Research Institute Summer Training/Visiting Students Program, apply early
Raman Research Institute Visiting Students Program.
What is this all about?
The Visiting Student Programme is aimed at offering research experience to highly motivated students who are presently pursuing their undergraduate or masters studies. Students seeking such opportunities mainly during their summer vacations, as under the so-called Summer programme, will continue to be supported under this new and generalized format.
Format of the Programme:
During the period of the visit, the student will work closely with at least one staff member of the Institute on a suitable project, or on a part of a project, as appropriate. The student's work and the interaction with the staff and the graduate students at the Institute are expected to provide her/him a flavour of the research pursuits at the Institute, in general, and a first-hand experience in research, in particular.
Who Can Apply?
Students within 1-2 years of their end of BSc., B.E. and M.Sc. students with the intention of pursuing research as a career are eligible to apply. Eligible students from Bangalore colleges, who are keen to utilize their week-ends and vacation periods for acquiring research experience at RRI, will also be considered.
Area of Work/Job profile: Refer the institutes website.
Duration
Although the summer vacation period may be a generally preferred duration for most students, the visits during and/or extending to other periods are also possible. The duration may range, on a case-by-case basis, anywhere between 6-weeks to 6-months (extendable upto one year, subject to a critical assessment of the student's progress by the end of the sixth month, where applicable
Intake
The Institute anticipates a significant number of visiting students during the summer months. However, the scheme is not limited to the summer. In any case, the total number of visiting students at a time would be limited by available projects/mentors and relevant resources. For this and other logistics reasons, the candidates are advised to apply at least two months in advance of their proposed time of visit.
Fellowship/Stipend
Students will be offered: a) Sleeper-class train fare to Bangalore from their place of stay, and also the return fare, for a single person; b) Allowance of Rs. 3000/- (Rupees three thousand only) per month of the visit duration; and c) Institute accommodation (generally on a shared-room basis) free of cost.
Students from Bangalore will be offered the above Allowance and, additionally, a support of Rs. 800/- (Rupees eight hundred only) per month towards local transportation, where appropriate.
Applications and Selection Procedures
A potential VSP student is expected to go through the RRI homepage to get an idea of research interests of the research staff (postdoctoral fellows and members of the research faculty). Then he/she should e-mail directly to a research staff member of his/her choice seeking possibility of working on a project with him/her. The e-mail should contain information on the student's academic background and the kind of work that he/she would like to pursue. The student should arrange for recommendation letters to be e-mailed directly to the relevant staff member only if the staff member requests recommendation letters to be sent to him/her.
Submission deadline:Throught the year but 2 months prior to your planned visit.
