Applicants must possess a Ph.D. degree, three or more years of post-doctoral 
experience and an established record of independent research. Mid-career 
researchers seeking movement are also welcome to apply. While the Institute
 is basically interested in candidates with a strong background in existing research
 areas, additional research interests contributing to the breadth would be most
 welcome.

Regular research staff of the Institute is expected to primarily engage in

 independent 
research in basic science and, additionally, participate in activities that promote
 the
 academic environment of the Institute.

The Raman Research Institute values interactions: collaborations with colleagues, 

collaborations with researchers in other institutions in India and overseas, and 
participation
 in the academic activities of the Institute are encouraged. Opportunities exist for
 supervision
 of short-term visiting students as well as Ph.D. students. Opportunities exist for 
proposing
 new experiments, the setting up of research laboratories, and participation in the
 many ongoing 
experimental activities. The appointments do not entail any teaching responsibilities;
 however
, participation in teaching is encouraged. The salary scale would depend on 
experience and 
current status. Assistance with relocation will be provided.

To apply, please send (a) a Curriculum Vitae, (b) List of Publications, (c) a resume

 detailing 
previous research activities and (d) a statement containing future research plans. 
It is advised 
that applicants familiarize themselves with the current research activities at the
 Institute, including 
experimental endeavors, while formulating their application. Additionally, 
please arrange for three
 letters of reference from people familiar with your work to be sent directly to
 director@rri.res.in.

We prefer to receive applications and supporting letters in soft copy. The preferred
 format is PDF
 files. To avoid confusion all application files should all be attached to a single 
email message. 
These may be sent to director@rri.res.in
