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.
