Qualifications

Applications are invited from the Indian Nationals with M.Sc Physical/Organic/Inorganic/Analytical/Polymer chemistry/Material Sciences/M.Tech Nanoscience /Nanotechnology for the award of two Junior Research Fellowships.

Nature of Work

The nature of work involves development of environmentally benign process for functionalization of carbon nanotubes for epoxy modification. Work further involves characterization of synthesized nanomaterials through mechanical, thermal. electrical spectral and electrochemical for structural and sensor applications.

Benefits

The selected candidates may get opportunity to avail independent expertise on the handling and operation processing and analytical equipments such as high pressure reactors, photo reactors, HPLC/GPC, spectrophotometers, electrochemical work station and many more, available with the laboratory of the principal investigator. Candidates may also get opportunity to have expertise TEM and SEM (EDX) available as a central facility of the University. Selected candidates may get opportunity for participating in conferences and may achieve patents and publications in the journal of high impact factors from the outcome of the project.

Tenure of the fellowship

This will be initially for up to 12 months and may likely to continue in future as per University rules.

Fellowship

The candidates selected will get the fellowship of INR 12,000- per month. Food and lodging is available at the university at nominal rates and will be provided.
