PhD Students:
This lab usually has 1 to 2 vacancies (each year) to accommodate highly motivated PhD students who are interested in working on projects related to the electrochemical energy storage devices. Interested students are advised to go through the information provided on the IIT Indore Academics website (click here) for more details. Candidates with an academic background or research experience in Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Chemistry, Materials Science, or Nanotechnology are typically a good fit in our group. Students having external funding (INSPIRE Fellows, UGC/CSIR-JRF, etc.) are strongly encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral Fellows:
Fellows with a PhD degree and demonstrated experience in Li/Na batteries (experimental work on cathodes, anodes, or solid electrolytes) are welcome to join our group for their post-doctoral work, provided they secure their own independent funding via NPDF, etc.
