supercritical fluids, bio-nano interface, nano-magnetism, magnonic crystals,
micromagnetic simulations, Nanomaterials in general, and Physics of Correlated
oxides, low dimensional systems, magnetic shape memory alloys, dilute magnetic
semi-conductors, multi-ferroic materials, thin films of metals and oxides,
electronic, magnetic and structural properties of complex materials,
superconductivity, strongly correlated
electronic systems, quantum many-body physics, micromagnetic and monte carlo
simulation of static and dynamic
properties of nanomagnets, theoretical study of thermalconductivity, Ab initio
plane wave pseudo-potential calculation, strongly correlated electron systems,
electronic structure and transport through nano-materials.
- Quantum field theory, mathematical physics, cognitive
science, granular physics, non-commutative quantum mechanics, statistical
physics, non-linear dynamics, turbulences, lattice gauge theories,
representation theory of lie groups and coherent states, quantum optics, black
holes, constrained dynamics, quantum gravity, quantum spin systems, collective
behaviour and emergent phenomena, explosive percolation, complex networks and
critical phenomena.

· S.N. Bose will provide a monthly stipend to cover
living costs and food. The monthly stipend will not be convertible into foreign
currency. Free on-campus accommodation will be provided. The monthly stipend
does not cover comprehensive health insurance.
The Centre does however deduct a small contribution towards a
Contributory Medical Scheme. The benefits are partial reimbursement of Doctor's
fees, medicines and/or hospitalization costs, if any, and only for costs
incurred in Kolkata. The reimbursement structure is along the lines of the
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) of the Government of India.
· The S.N. Bose Centre
does not provide comprehensive health or medical insurance to its staff or
students. All SN Bose-TWAS fellows must have their own "Medical
Insurance" before joining the programme to cover medical emergencies.
·
The language of instruction is English.
Eligibility:
Applicants for these fellowships must
meet the following criteria:
·
Be a maximum age of 45 years on 31 December of the

India).
· Must not hold any visa for temporary or permanent
residency in India or any developed country.
· Be regularly employed in a developing country (other
than India) and hold a research assignment there.
·
Hold a PhD degree in physics, mathematics or physical
chemistry.
· Be accepted by a department of the S.N. Bose National
Centre. Prospective applicants are advised to visit the S.N. Bose National Centre's
website www.bose.res.in and seek to find a
potential supervisor under whom they would like to pursue their research and
contact them. However, requests for preliminary acceptance must be directed to
the Dean (Academic Programme), S.N. Bose National Center for Sciences, Kolkata
by e-mail: deanap@bose.res.in or fax:
(+91) 33 2335 3477. In contacting the Dean (Academic Programme), applicants
must accompany their request for a preliminary acceptance letter with copy of
their CV and a research proposal outline. See sample preliminary acceptance
letter that can be downloaded below or included in the application form.
· Provide evidence of proficiency in English, if medium
of education was not English;
· Provide evidence that s/he will return to her/his home
country on completion of the fellowship;
·
Not take up other assignments during the period of
her/his fellowship;
·
Be financially responsible for any accompanying family
members.
How to apply:
· 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.
· Applications for the TWAS-SN Bose Postdoctoral
Fellowship Programme can ONLY be submitted via the online portal. A tutorial on
how to use the online application form is available below for download.
· Please be advised that applicants may apply for only
one programme per calendar year in the TWAS and OWSD portfolio. Applicants will
not be eligible to visit another institution in that year under the TWAS
Visiting Professor programmes.
· One exception: The head of an institution who invites
an external scholar to share his/her expertise under the TWAS Visiting
Professor programmes may still apply for another programme
