No. of Positions: 1
About the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Arts and Sciences
Collectively, the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science have experts in a very wide range of academic disciplines. In particular, both Schools together have physicists and mathematicians working on various different areas of physics (nonlinear dynamics, fractional calculus, fluid mechanics, renewable energy technology, atmospheric science, particle physics, cosmology, string theory) as well as mathematics (topology, differential geometry).
Role Summary
The project is sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India under Indo-Russian Call for Joint Proposals. The JRF will contribute to the various calculations related to (a) formation of primordial black holes, their observational imprints, and implications for the physics of the early universe, (b) Axions and axion-like particles, their possible role in structure formation, and novel ideas for detecting them, and, (c) generation of charge asymmetry in the early Universe.
Responsibilities
- Support in various ongoing research activities in the project,
- Assist with various academic and research activities including ordering and maintenance of project related equipment and consumables, progress report writing, and maintaining project finances,
- Visit Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India as well as Laboratory of Cosmology and Elementary Particle Physics, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk, Russia, for collaborative research activities.
Key Skills
- Required: candidates are expected to be well-versed with various topics in mathematical physics (linear algebra, multivariable calculus, complex analysis, Fourier analysis etc),
- Candidates having a very good understanding of the fundamentals of classical field theory and with some familiarity with general relativity and quantum field theory are encouraged to apply,
- Prior experience with cosmology of the early Universe is desirable.
Qualifications
The candidate must have completed a Masters degree in physics.
