Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad offers excellent Research Opportunities in various field of Physics.
Study fields: Theoretical High Energy and Particle Physics; Nuclear Physics; Plasma Physics and Gravitational Physics; Nonlinear Dynamics and Computational Physics; Laser Physics and Quantum Optics; Atomic and Molecular Physics. Solar System Astrophysics and Meteorite Studies; Infrared and Optical Astronomy; Solar Physics; Crystal Evolution, Geochemistry and Geochronology; Oceanography and Palaeo-climatology; Atmospheric Sciences and Aeronomy. The Observational Astronomy and Solar Physies work are being carried out at Mount Abu Infrared Observatory using 1.2 meter telescope and Udaipur Solar Observatory.
Bright and highly motivated students and young scientists are encouraged to apply for research and training under the following categories:
(a) Ph.D. Programme: M.Sc. students with FirstCIass or Second Class degree in Physics/Chemistry/Applied Mathematics/Geology/ Geophysics/Oceanography, and with Physics and Mathematics as subjects in B.Sc. degree exam are selected in this programme to pursue research leading to Ph.D. degree under the guidance of senior scientists of the laboratory.
Selection: The Research Scholars are selected on the basis of their academic record, written test and personal interview. They are required to undergo a course work in various topics during the first year and continuation of the research scholarship is subject to successful completion of this course work.
Value: Rs.2800 p.m. The scholarship may be raised to Rs.3000 p.m. after two years and to Rs.3200 p.m. after four years subject to appropriate evaluation. A book allowance of Rs.3000 p.a. for each of the four years starting from the first year of Research Scholarship is provided. Selected candidates are provided accommodation in students hostel.
B. Associateship Programme: M.Sc. students with First Class or high second class degree in Physics/Chemistry/Applied Mathematics/ Geology/Geophysics/Oceanography and with Physics and Mathematics as subjects in their B.Sc. degree are selected in this programme to do research in association with Senior Scientists in specific experimental programme and participate in the associated theoretical/modelling activities.
Selection: The candidates are selected on the basis of their academic record, written test and personal interview. They are required to develop appropriate experimental skills and theoretical modelling capabilities as required.
The Associateship is awarded initially for one year, but may be continued for three years depending on the progress made by the individual. A few of the selected Project Associates who do exceptionally well are considered for suitable permanent positions in the Laboratory any time during their tenure and are allowed to develop their future scientific career.
Value: Rs.3500 p.m. Hostel facilities at a nominal rent or an HRA of Rs.650 p.m. (in lieu of non-availability of hostel accommodation) may be provided during the Associateship period.
Notification: March. Last date: April.
