Institute of Physics Bhubaneswar, inviting application for the post of Post Doctoral Positions in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics

I. We have a strong program on thin film growth and modification by energetic ion beams and their characterization. In addition, we use large area patterned substrates as templates for deposition of magnetic, ferroelectric, and optical thin films. Thin film growth for different applications would be possible by using UHV e-beam evaporation, DC/RF magnetron sputtering (with GLAD attachment), and pulsed laser deposition facilities. Presently, we have TWO postdoctoral fellow positions open for working on problems which will make use of the above facilities. One position is meant for working on “Materials research based on thin film growth for solar cells / TFTs”. The other position is meant for “Ion beam induced nano patterning and growth of thin films on patterned substrates for magnetic/optical studies”. The candidates should have preferably Ph.D. degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics/Chemistry/Materials Science. Experience in thin film/nano structures and/or use of ion beams may be preferred.

II. A postdoctoral fellow position is also open in the field of “Electronic structure / band structure calculations using various computational methods”. The fellow in this position needs to work in collaboration with the experimental group working on the electronic structure / band structure studies. Previous experiences in working with strongly correlated systems are desirable.

III. A postdoctoral fellow position is available for working in the area of “Modification of Surfaces by Ion Beams”. Candidate should have a Ph.D. Degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics or Materials Science or theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. Experience in some of the techniques related to surface-interface Physics, accelerator physics, and related theoretical simulations, AFM/STM, XPS, photoemission, ion scattering techniques, thin film growth, and growth of nanomaterials will be required.

IV. A postdoctoral fellow position is available for working in the areas of “Interaction between Surfaces and Biomaterials”. Candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics / Materials Science / Chemical Engineering / Chemistry / Biology. Experience in some of the techniques related to growth of nanomaterials, handling of biomaterials (like DNA, Protein, cells etc.), interaction between biomaterials and nanoparticles or surfaces will be required.

Pay Scale: The amount of fellowship will be Rs. 21,000-24,000/- per month (depending on the experience of the candidate) apart from HRA and other admissible allowances
How to apply:

Candidates may send their application with CV and List of Publications to: Dr. T. Som, Institute of Physics, Sachivalaya Marg, Bhubaneswar-751 005, E-mail: tsom@iopb.res.in, The last date for sending completed applications is August 31, 2011
