Current Vacancy - Indian Institute of Geomagnetism
Designation : Ph.D. programme
Job Description :
Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, applications are invited for Ph.D. programme
Sr No : 01
Post Name : Ph.D. programme
Qualifications :-
M.Sc. / M.Sc. (Tech) in Physics / Applied Physics / Geophysics / Applied Geology / Environmental Science with a minimum of 60 % marks throughout and Physics or Chemistry or Mathematics as a subject in B.Sc. In addition candidates should be in possession of valid certificate of qualifying NET / GATE / PET (in Physics from University of Mumbai / in Physics from Shivaji Univ., Kolhapur / in Physics or Applied Geology or Environmental Science from North Maharashtra Univ., Jalgaon / in Geophysics or Environmental Science from SRTM Univ., Nanded / in Geophysics from Andhra University, Visakhapatanam). Those appearing for Master’s degree examination in the year 2011 may also apply.
Company Profile :
The Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) today is a leading institute of the country actively engaged in basic and applied research in Geomagnetism and allied areas of Atmospheric and Space Physics, and Plasma Physics. It started out as a successor to the Colaba observatory, Set up in 1826, where the first regular magnetic observatory in the country was established in 1841. IIG became an autonomous research institute in 1971, and is now under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
In 2003, the Institute has been shifted from its previous location at the site of the Colaba observatory The Colaba Oservatory established in 1826to a larger new campus at Panvel in Navi Mumbai (New Bombay). In addition to this campus, IIG has an Equatorial Geophysical Research Laboratory (EGRL) at Tirunelveli, and is in the process of setting up the Dr. K. S. Krishnan Geophysical Research Laboratory at Allahabad. The Institute also operates ten modern magnetic observatories at various locations in India. A Magnetic Vacuum system (MACACS) is installed at the prime observatory at Alibag. Among other major observational facilities of IIG are two Partial Reflection Radars, located at the EGRL and Kolhapur.
Observation tower of Alibag observatory IIG has a number of active research groups involved in theoretical, experimental, and observational work. The Institute has a modern laboratory for design and fabrication of instruments used in Geomagnetism and allied fields. Geomagnetism is a multi-disciplinary science and thus provides research opportunities for Physicists, Geophysicists, and Earth Scientists. Geomagnetism, by its very nature, is also a global science, and often involves collaboration with scientists from other countries. The Institute supports a World Data Centre for Geomagnetism (WDC, Mumbai), which is the only International centre for Geomagnetic data in South Asia, and caters to the needs of Space and Earth Scientists and researchers from Universities.
Desired Profile :
How to Apply : The application should reach the Registrar on or before 14th June, 2011. Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (An Autonomous Scientific Research Organisation under the , Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. Of India), Plot No.5, Sector 18, Kalamboli Highway, New Panvel (W), Navi Mumbai – 410 218.
