Postdoctoral Position: Material Science; IIT Indore 1580 views

Applications are open for motivated and qualified candidates for a postdoc position in the research project entitled Exploring the role of crystal-structure in governing the magnetic and dielectric properties of some multi-ferroic oxides. The project is focused at studying the role of crystal structure change and magnetic ordering on the dielectric properties of some perovskite oxides that are predicted as potential multi-ferroic materials. Material preparation would involve both, solid state reaction method and thin film deposition using pulsed laser deposition method. Changes in local structure of the materials will be studied using EXAFS.

Eligibility:

• Applicant must hold Doctorate in Condensed Matter Physics or Materials Science.
• Applicants who have defended their Doctorate thesis, and have a valid proof to that effect, may apply.
• Applicants with very strong experimental background in thin-film preparation and thorough understanding of crystal structure and related measurement techniques like powder XRD, EXAFS and/or Raman Spectroscopy will be given preference.

Stipend:

Postdoctoral Fellow will be paid consolidated salary based on the following salary structure:

• Research Associate-I: Rs. 36,000/month
• Research Associate-II: Rs. 38,000/ month
