A project scientist (post-doc) position is available in the area of molecular modeling of smart interfaces. The DST sponsored project entitled “Understanding the self- assembly behavior of amphiphilic molecules on surfaces” involves quantum and classical molecular simulations of solid-liquid interfaces, and its functionalizations for superhydophobic/icephobic surfaces and sensor applications. The project also has an experimental component, and the candidate would have to work closely with the experimental team. The candidate should have a PhD in either Physics/PhysicalChemistry/Chemical Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/Material Science with a strong background in ab-initio or classical molecular simulations (Monte Carlo + molecular dynamics).

Initial appointment for the above post will be for one year, and may be extended further.

Salary range: Rs. 22,000-2200-44,000 (per month)
