About this position
A postdoctoral position is available in the Correlated Electron Materials Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad, supervised by Assistant Professor Soham Manni. The research group focuses on quantum materials and experimental condensed matter physics, with expertise in single crystal growth, low-temperature magnetotransport, and device fabrication involving Van der Waals materials. Research topics include Kagome metals, Van der Waals materials (such as room-temperature ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and charge density waves), and topological superconductors.
The lab synthesizes suitable materials for desired quantum ground states using various techniques and investigates their electronic and magnetic properties through ultra-low temperature measurements. The group aims to discover new materials with exotic quantum mechanical ground states and potential technological applications, such as spintronics.
The position is funded through the ANRF National Post Doctoral Fellowship (N-PDF), which offers a competitive fellowship of Rs. 80,000 per month plus HRA for PhD holders, a research grant of Rs. 2,00,000 per annum, and overheads of Rs. 1,00,000 per annum. The fellowship is tenable for two years and is open only to Indian citizens who have completed their PhD (or submitted their thesis) in science or engineering, with a strong publication record and relevant research experience. Applicants must not exceed 35 years of age (with relaxations for certain categories) and must not have previously availed the NPDF or be working with their PhD supervisor or at their PhD institution.
Interested candidates should send their CV to [email protected] before February 10, 2026, and apply for the ANRF NPDF through the official portal. The application requires a research proposal, supporting documents, and identification of a suitable mentor. For more information, visit the lab's academic page or the ANRF NPDF website.
