Exciting opportunities to work on the LIGO-India project are available at IUCAA.
Faculty positions at IUCAA related to LIGO-India
The Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) is an internationally recognised centre of excellence in Astronomy and Astrophysics (A & A). As the key science stakeholder of the prestigious LIGO-India mega-science project, IUCAA has been recently granted an augmentation in its academic faculty positions at various levels to seek talented and established theorists and experimenters in gravitational-wave astronomy and related areas to meet this challenge. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to IUCAA responsibility to spearhead and coordinate the growth of gravitational-wave science and technology in the country. These positions also provide the opportunity to take on responsibilities in key S&T challenges in the LIGO-India project. These appointments will be made as part of the open rolling regular faculty hiring process and carry the same tenure and benefits of any central government employees in India.
IUCAA continues to seek talented faculty candidates in all frontier research areas of Astronomy and Astrophysics (see www.iucaa.in/Faculty.html)
Applications with detailed CV and research profile may be addressed to Director IUCAA and sent by email to director@iucaa.in
