Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow Position
at
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
to work on a SERB supported project in the interface of gravitational physics
and quantum physics.
The successful candidate is expected to work with
Professor Banibrata Mukhopadhyay of IISc jointly in collaboration with Professor Shubhashish Banerjee of IIT Jodhpur. Hence, the candidate is expected to visit IIT Jodhpur, whenever needed.
The project particularly aims at exploring, e.g., quantum speed of
electrons and protons influenced by gravity and magnetic field, which further
control accretion and radiation processes; effects of gravity and matter in
neutrino oscillations, corresponding quantum
correlation and speed-limit; underlying matter stability; the issue of apparent pseudo-Hermiticity
of Dirac Hamiltonian in the time-dependent spacetime and underlying geometric phases,
similar to the Pancharatnam-Berry phase and Aharonov-Bohm effect in magnetic field.
The project is expected to be involved with both analytical
and numerical works. Preference might be
given to individuals with knowledge/experience in at least one of the
following fields: general relativity, foundation of quantum mechanics, astroparticle physics,
radiative transport, compact object physics, nuclear
astrophysics.
The applicants must have a Ph.D. degree or submitted a Ph.D. thesis
in Physics/Astrophysics with suitable research experience.
The position is available for upto 3 years, contingent upon performance reviewed
at the end of each year.
The candidate will also have the
opportunity to interact with the faculty members of the Department of Physics of IISc.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a
brief description of research interests to the following address:
Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Professor
Department of Physics
Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore-560012
Email: bm@iisc.ac.in
In addition, applicants should send three names who can provide with supporting letters
for shortlisted
candidates on request. Applications can be sent electronically.
