Department:

Department of Physics: The department of physics started in 2017 and has been growing in size and scope to

encompass a number of contemporary research areas. Our key focus research areas currently are Condensed Matter

Physics (Soft and Hard), Biophysics, Astrophysics, Cosmology and Quantum Field theory.

Role and Responsibilities:

The precession of magnetization could be observed in the form of spin waves. The wavelengths of spin waves are orders

of magnitude shorter than those of light waves operating at the same frequency range, which makes magnonic crystals

suitable candidates for nanoscale on chip microwave signal processing. We are looking for a JRF to work on

‘Spinwave Non-reciprocity in Kagome Artificial Spin Ice’. The Position is open in Dr. Susmita Saha’s

lab (Magnetic characterization lab), in the Department of Physics, at Ashoka University, India. The

project will be funded by SERB File no. SRG/2022/000191. Training and mentorship specific to the project

will be provided.

Duration:

Initial appointment will be for 6 months, which is extendable up to 2 years upon satisfactory performance.

Funding/Remuneration will be provided according to SERB & Ashoka University norms.

Education Qualification:

M.Sc/M.Tech degree in Physics or Nanoscience and Nanotechnology or Electronics or Engineering or other relevant

subject (NET/GATE/JEST will get preferences).

Competencies & Skill Sets

• In-depth knowledge and laboratory expertise in Physics lab is required.

• Basic knowledge of some programming language is also required.

• Must have an enthusiasm for research, passion to learn and be able to maintain meticulous records of

experimental procedures with a good team spirit.

Last Date for Application:

15th December 2022

Application Submission Process

Interested applicant should sent their CV detailing relevant laboratory research experience, contact details of

at least three referees (email and contact number) and a cover letter to Susmita Saha

([email protected]) with the subject line – .

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Candidates applying after the due date will not be considered.

Ashoka is an equal opportunities employer. Remuneration will be competitive with Indian non-profit pay

scales and will depend upon the candidate’s experience levels and the overall organization’s salary structure.
