IISER Tirupati – Post Doctoral Research Fellowship (PDRF) Program 

Advt. No.13/2020/IISER-T/Rect./04.04.2020

IISER Tirupati has an active Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship (PDRF) Program to enable highly motivated young researchers to conduct research in the frontier areas of Science and Technology. Applications are invited twice a year, in April and October, for appointment of post-doctoral fellows in the various research areas. These positions are open for those with experience of 2 years or less, from the date of award of PhD degree. Those who have submitted thesis and are awaiting award of degree, can also apply. Such cases, if selected, will be considered as extended Senior Research Fellows till the degree is awarded. 

The Institute may give exceptions in terms of number of years of experience in case of highly meritorious candidates, with prior approval of the Competent Authority. 

Candidates should provide evidence of having carried out high quality research during or after their Ph. D. program. The award will be initially for one year, with an extension for one more year after review of performance. 

PDRFs have to get associated with a specific research group depending upon the research and facilities /mentorship required to carry-out research. 

How to apply: Interested candidates should contact faculty working in the below mentioned research areas at IISER Tirupati and identify a research project with the mentor to host the Fellowship. 

For details of the faculty and their research areas please visit: www.iisertirupati.ac.in/people/faculty 

Last Date for application for all streams: June 10 th, 2020. 

Candidates will be shortlisted based on the quality of their research work and proposal. The final selection will be made based on all the above criteria, specific area of research and performance in interview.
