PhD in Spintronics, Magnetic Tunnel Junctions, and Neuromorphic Computing at IIIT-Delhi
IIIT-Delhi is inviting applications for a PhD position in
spintronics
,
magnetic tunnel junctions
,
emerging memory devices
, and
neuromorphic computing
. The advertised project is based in the
Department of ECE
and the
Centre for Quantum Technologies
, with research activity connected to the
MIND Lab
(Memory and Intelligent Nanoelectronic Devices Laboratory).
The work is described as a mix of
experimental and simulation-driven research
, including magnetic tunnel junctions, skyrmion-based devices, brain-inspired neuromorphic computing, micro/nanofabrication, device characterization, and interdisciplinary modeling. The post also mentions collaboration with leading research facilities at
National University of Singapore
and
A*STAR Singapore
, suggesting strong international exposure.
Funding:
The selected candidate is preferably expected to have CSIR JRF, UGC JRF, or INSPIRE fellowship support. Fellowship support is stated as
₹60,000 per month
. The IIIT-Delhi PhD admissions page further notes institute fellowship support, international lab-visit support, laptop/desktop support, contingency grant, and conference travel support for regular PhD students.
Eligibility:
Candidates from
Physics
,
ECE
,
Materials Science
,
Nanotechnology
, or related areas are encouraged to apply. Useful experience includes thin-film deposition, device fabrication, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and MuMax3, but highly motivated applicants with strong fundamentals are also welcome. The broader IIIT-Delhi PhD admissions page also encourages candidates with UGC/CSIR JRF, DST INSPIRE, DBT Fellowship, and research-oriented B.Tech. backgrounds.
Application:
Interested candidates should email their CV to
Dr. Anuj Kumar
