PhD Opportunity in Functional Polymers, Dendritic Materials, Catalysis & Green Chemistry, and Biosensor Research

Fatima Mata National College, under the guidance of Assistant Professor Smitha George, is inviting applications for a PhD opportunity in Chemistry. The research areas include functional polymers, dendritic materials, catalysis and green chemistry, as well as biosensor and translational research. This position is ideal for candidates passionate about interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in chemical sciences. Applicants must have qualified for national fellowships such as UGC-NET (JRF), CSIR-JRF, GATE, or similar, as there is currently no funded project position available. Candidates are expected to either already possess a fellowship or be willing to apply for competitive fellowships to support their studies. The research group emphasizes high-quality publications and innovation potential, providing an excellent environment for motivated researchers. Interested candidates should send their CV and research interests to [email protected]. The opportunity is based in Kochi, Kerala, India, and is affiliated with Fatima Mata National College, with connections to Cochin University of Science and Technology. For more information, candidates can review the supervisor's LinkedIn profile or reach out directly via email. Key research keywords include functional polymers, dendritic materials, catalysis, green chemistry, biosensor, translational research, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This is a self-funded or fellowship-based PhD position, and applicants should ensure they meet the eligibility criteria for national fellowships before applying.
