Bhubaneswar – Institute of Physics Bhubaneshwar – Post Doctoral Recruitment 2011

Institute of Physics Bhubaneshwar Hires Ph.D (Physics / Materials Science / Chemical Engineering / Chemistry / Biology) candidates in 2010

We have a strong program on thin film growth and modification by energetic ion beams and their characterization. In addition, we have a low energy ion beam induced surface nanostructuring unit for synthesis of large area patterned subsrates. These patterned substrates can be used as templates for deposition of magnetic, ferroelectric, and optical thin films. Thin film growth for different applications would be possible by using UHV e-beam evaporation, DC/RF magnetron sputtering (with GLAD attachment), and pulsed laser deposition facilities. Presently, we have two postdoctoral fellow positions open for working on problems which will make use of the above facilities. One position is meant for working with materials research based on thin film growth for solar cells / TFTs. The other position is meant for growth of thin films on patterned substrates for magnetic/optical studies. The candidates should have preferably a Ph.D. degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics/Materials Science. Candidates with experience in thin film/nanostructures and/or use of ion beams may be preferred.

Post Doctoral (Experimental Condensed Matter Physics)
Eligibility:
Candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in experimental Condensed Matter Physics / Materials Science / Chemical Engineering / Chemistry / Biology. Experience in some of the techniques related to growth of nanomaterials, handling of biomaterials (like DNA, Protein, cells etc.), interaction between biomaterials and nanoparticles or surfaces will be required.

Interest:
One of our research interests has been the synthesis of nanoclusters in semiconductors through ion-implantation. We have been using TEM, Raman scattering, high resolution XRD for sample characterization, A laboratory for optical characterization with low temperature steady state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements is shortly going to be set up. The candidate is expected to join this activity and it is desiarable that he/she should have the necessary working experience in ion beam research. Familiarity with electron microscopy Raman scattering, photoluminescence and XRD will be highly useful.
