NITK Surathkal to Offer Two-Year Post-Doctoral Programme Which Will Be Funded by The Institute

National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (Surathkal) will offer a two-year Post-doctoral Fellowship (post-doc) programme to 10 researchers this year. The uniqueness of this programme is that it is wholly funded by the institute. The related process and interview will start in November. Currently, such programmes are offered only in select centrally-funded institutes in India. Candidates applying for this programme should have a PhD degree along with a strong research background. U Shripathi Acharya, professor and dean (research and consultancy), NIT-K, said candidates with engineering and science backgrounds can apply. The selected candidates will receive a monthly fellowship (scholarship) of Rs 50,000 and a contingency amount of Rs 30,000 per annum.More details on this is available on www.nitk.ac.in.
