26 September 2025
Applications are invited for research leading to PhD degree in the following areas:
Advanced Nano-Materials, Nano-electronic Device, Renewable Energy, Quantum Device & Medical Device Research (see below for more details).
Eligibility:
Students with brilliant academic performance throughout (from the secondary level to the postgraduate level) with M.Sc./M.S./M.Tech. or equivalent postgraduate degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Biomedical science, related science and/or engineering discipline are eligible to apply.
The sine qua non is a high level of motivation for innovation particularly in ‘translational research’ leading to applications for the benefit of the society are invited to apply. The PhD programme will be conducted at the following independent multi-disciplinary research Centre called KANAD (Knowledge Hub for Advanced Nano-material Science and Technology Applications and Development), created for cutting-edge research specializing in Advanced Materials Science and Nanotechnology, at RKMVERI’s main campus at Belur, in collaboration with similar highly developed hubs in Kolkata. This program offers research opportunities in nanotechnology and advanced materials science.
Research areas in detail:
- Advanced Semiconductors based Nano-fabrication: 2D materials, Ceramics & Organic (FETs, p-n junctions, LEDs etc.)
- Renewable Energy Generation Materials & Devices.
- Chiral Quantum Device and Spintronics
- Neuromorphics Technology, 2D Memristor devices
- Sensors for Industrial, Medical, Agriculture, Space, Defense, and Environmental Monitoring Application.
- Flexible printed electronics materials & applications.
- Thin coatings for stealth application.
- Fabrication of Material for Quantum Dots application
- NEMS and its life prediction.
- Nanomaterials for societal application
Fellowship:
Students holding fellowships like CSIR-UGC NET-JRF, INSPIRE, or any other will be receive preference. Others too may apply if they are so motivated and apply for the West State Govt.’s not-NET fellowship of Rs.8000/- per month.
While this is a ‘rolling advertisement’, those applying within one month will be considered in the first phase.
