Applications are invited for the post of Post-doctoral Fellow (Project Scientist) under a DRDO entitled “Metamaterials and plasmonic structured materials for controlling radiation”. The position is tenable for one year and extendable by two more years upon satisfactory performance. The Post-doctoral fellow will conduct experimental work on the development of thin films of phase change materials like Vanadium Oxide and structuring them by Excimer laser micromachining methods, followed by infra-red spectroscopic characterisations.

Essential qualifications: Fresh Ph.D. in experimental physics with a reasonable publication record in good professional journals. Candidates whose Ph.D. work was on deposition of thin films of oxides or infra-red materials by pulsed laser deposition methods will be preferred. Basic computer skills are essential. NET /GATE scores are desirable.

Salary will be in the scale 22000-2200-44000 with medical facilities and housing facilities as permissible under rules. Minimum emoluments will be Rs. 26,400/- per month.
