Overview
TWAS and the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata, India have agreed to offer five fellowships annually to young foreign scientists from developing countries who wish to pursue research leading towards a PhD in physical sciences.
IMPORTANT: The following is additional information concerning the TWAS-SN Bose Postgraduate Fellowship Programme tenable in India. It is an integral part of the information given here: TWAS Fellowships for Postgraduate Research.
Applicants should be aware that they can apply for only one fellowship per year. With the exception of the fellowships "for research collaboration", all other fellowship programmes offered by TWAS and TWOWS that are mutually exclusive.
Programme Details
1.TWAS-SN Bose Postgraduate Fellowships are tenable at the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Kolkata, India - www.bose.res.in - for studies leading towards a PhD degree in the physical sciences for four years with the possibility of a one-year extension. Research areas carried out include:
Electronic structure and physics of materials.
Soft condensed matter, complex systems and statistical physics;
High energy physics and mathematical physics;
Optics, mesoscopic phenomena and chemical physics;
Astrophysics;
Experimental physics: magnetism, in particular manganites, Birkhaussen effect, Mössbauer spectroscopy, superconductivity, mechanical stress-strain relaxation, dielectric spectroscopy in the nano and pico time scales, as well as noise measurements in terms of resistance fluctuation spectroscopy;
Nanoscience and technology: Synthesis of nanomaterials; physical measurements using scaling probe microscopy; mesoscopic phenomena; electronic structure and modelling; nanolithography; nanobiophysics;
Theoretical chemistry: Density functional theory, quantum fluid dynamics and applications; atoms/molecules under intense or super-intense laser fields; atoms/molecules under strong magnetic fields; quantum chaos; computational quantum chemistry (novel molecules, nanoclusters, biomolecules, drug-DNA interaction modelling); theoretical spectroscopy and relaxation phenomena; simulation studies and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
2.Admission to the PhD programme at the S.N. Bose National Centre will depend on the successful completion of coursework (about one year's duration).
3.S.N. Bose will provide a monthly stipend to cover living costs, food and health insurance. The monthly stipend will not be convertible into foreign currency. Free on-campus accommodation will be provided.
4.The language of instruction is English.
Eligibility
Candidates for these fellowships must meet the following criteria:
-be a maximum age of 35 years on 31 December of the application year;
-be nationals of a developing country (other than India);
-be employed at a university or research institution;
-hold a Master's degree in physics, mathematics or physical chemistry;
-be accepted by a department of the S.N. Bose National Centre. Requests for acceptance must be directed to Prof. Abhijit Mookerjee, Senior Professor & Dean (Faculty) at e-mail: abhijit@bose.res.in, fax: (+91) 33 2335 3477 or tel: (+91) 33 2335 5706/7/8 (see sample Acceptance Letter, page 6);
-provide evidence of proficiency in English.
Submitting your application
The deadline for receipt of applications is 31 August each year.
Applicants must submit an Acceptance Letter from a department of the S.N. Bose National Centre when applying, or by the deadline at the latest. Without preliminary acceptance the application will not be considered for selection.
Reference letters: Referees must send signed letters as attachments via e-mail directly to TWAS. The subject line must contain: Bose/PG/candidate’s surname. Alternatively, letters should be sent by post in sealed envelopes.
Applications for the TWAS-S.N. Bose Postgraduate Fellowship Programme should be sent to TWAS only (by post, fax or email).
