Junior Research Fellow (JRF) null

Applications are invited for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in a Department of Science & Technology (DST) funded Indo-South Africa Joint project (DST/INT/South Africa/P-02/2021) entitled “Design, preparation and characterization of materials for tunable anomalous thermal expansion and anomalous compressibility" under the supervision of Dr. Dinabandhu Das, School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Essential Qualification:

The applicant must have an M.Sc. degree in Chemistry (Organic /Inorganic) from UGC recognized University with a minimum of 60% marks. Candidate must qualify for CSIR-UGC NET/GATE. The candidate should have good analytical skills.

Desirable Qualification:

A candidate with experience in the synthesis of organic/inorganic compounds and knowledge of crystallography is highly desired.

Duration:

The selected candidate will be appointed on a purely temporary basis, initially for one year and renewable each year subject to satisfactory performance for a maximum of three years.

Main objectives of the project:

• Design, synthesis, and characterization of new organic and metal-organic compounds.
• Crystallization of these compounds to study thermal expansion and compressibility by variable temperature X-ray diffraction experiment.
• Analysis of the data and rationalizing the problem

Eligible and interested candidates should send their application with a complete CV (having personal details, academic qualifications, research experience, publications, name, affiliation, and email address of two referees). Also, send photocopies of mark sheets/testimonials/certificates, a recent passport size photograph, and other relevant documents as PDF attachments via email.
