About this position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in Autonomous Materials Discovery at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), within the Centre for Promotion of Additive Manufacturing: Optical Computation Chips (CPAM) and the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics.

The project focuses on building Agentic AI systems for scientific discovery of high-refractive-index composite materials for next-generation photonics and semiconductor technologies. The research aims to create AI-driven workflows that can read, reason, plan, design, and optimize new optical materials with minimal human intervention.

Research themes include autonomous hypothesis generation and validation, intelligent agents that summarize large volumes of scientific literature using foundation models, integration of literature with materials databases, simulations and experimental data, and generative models for designing novel materials for metalenses, metasurfaces, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and optical computation.

Applicants with a background in materials science, photonics, optics, chemistry, polymers, nanotechnology, computational materials, AI, computer science, physics, or engineering are encouraged to apply. The post says such a background is advantageous but not mandatory, and welcomes candidates excited about frontier AI for scientific research.

To apply, email your CV, a one-page research statement, a list of publications, and contact details of two referees to the listed IISc email addresses.

No deadline or funding details were stated in the post.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
