PhD Opportunity in Optomagnetism, Magnetoelectric Materials, and Spintronic Devices at IIIT Delhi
Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) is inviting applications for a
PhD opportunity in Optomagnetism
(joint-student) in the broad area of
magnetoelectric materials
and
optical control of magnetism
.
The selected PhD student will work on experimental and simulation-driven research related to
optically driven magnetic switching
,
magnetoelectric coupling
,
multifunctional materials
, and
nanoelectronic devices
. The project is jointly supervised by
Dr. Anuj Kumar
(Assistant Professor, ECE and Centre for Quantum Technologies, IIIT-Delhi; MIND Lab) and
Sukanta Nandi
(Assistant Professor, ECE, IIIT-Delhi).
Research exposure includes
thin-film and device fabrication
,
optical and magnetic characterization
,
electrical measurements
,
material-device integration
, and interdisciplinary work in advanced functional materials and
spintronic devices
. The lab profile of Dr. Anuj Kumar indicates related interests in
spintronics
,
nanoelectronics
, and
neuromorphic engineering
, with device physics, nanofabrication, advanced characterization, micromagnetic simulations, and data-driven modeling.
Eligibility highlights:
candidates should have a background in
Physics
,
Materials Science
,
Nanotechnology
,
ECE
, or a related area. Preferred experience includes thin-film deposition, device fabrication, optical/magnetic/electrical characterization, magnetoelectric measurements, and simulation tools such as
COMSOL
and
MuMax3
. A valid
CSIR-JRF
,
UGC-JRF
,
INSPIRE Fellowship
, or equivalent national-level fellowship is preferred, and applicants must meet IIIT Delhi’s qualification requirements.
Funding:
the position offers a fellowship of
₹60,000 per month
. The post mentions
immediate start
and
rolling admission
.
