CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL) has invited applications for admission to Ph.D. Programme of January 2012 in the following Research Areas: Advanced Functional Materials,Agricultural Biotechnology,Artificial Intelligence,Bioorganic Chemistry, Catalysis (Homogeneous and Heterogeneous),Chaos Theory and Turbulence,Complex Fluids and Polymer Engineering, Electrochemical Power Sources and Energy Technolog,Fluid Modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics,Green Chemistry,Materials for Solar Energy,Mathematical & System Biology,Microbial and Mammalian Cell Culture,Molecular Host-pathogen Interactions,Molecular Marker Technology, Nanostructured Materials,Nonlinear Dynamics,Organic Chemistry,Plant Tissue Culture,Polymer Science,Process Design Modelling and Simulation,Reaction Engineering, Separation Science,Solid State NMR of Materials,Structure-function and Crystallography of Biomolecules,Structure-Property-Processing Correlation Studies, Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Science

Admission Requirements:
The admission requirement for the PhD program in the science stream is MSc in any branch of science and a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering/Technology or related discipline for the PhD Programme in Engineering. Applicants should have qualified for a UGC/CSIR/DBT/ICMR/BINC/DST-INSPIRE JRF or any other research fellowship programme. Admission is through an initial screening of the applications followed by personal interview.



Application procedure and interview schedule:
Candidates applying to the PhD program who fulfil the requirements may be asked to submit their application by email/hardcopy or apply online at the CSIR-NCL/AcSIR website. The list of candidates eligible for appearing interviews, after initial screening will be uploaded on the CSIR-NCL/AcSIR website. The interviews will be held in the last week of November 2011 at CSIR-NCL. List of selected candidates under different disciplines will be announced after the interviews. Students may consider staying back in Pune for two to three days more after the interviews, so that in the event of their selection, they may complete the counselling and selection of research guides. Counselling will be held on the next day after the interviews. Details of counselling will be announced at the time of the interviews. The selected candidates are required to join for research on or before January 02, 2012.
