Applications are invited from motivated and eligible Indian citizens for a position of Research Personal (Junior Research Fellow (JRF) or higher) in a SERB funded research project entitled “Study of dynamical quantum phase transition of strongly interacting bosons in optical lattice” at the Department of Physics at Presidency University. The successful applicant will work with the PI Dr. Barnali Chakrabarti.

Date and Venue of Interview: 1 ^st August, 12 noon at the Department of Physics.

Application process: The candidate must email i) their current CV with a cover letter providing their contact number as well as their personal email id ii) a 400-word write-up about previous research work to the following email address barnali.physics@presiuniv.ac.in.
