TCS Post Doctoral Programme

The Institute welcomes applications for Post-doctoral fellowships in all areas of Computer Science, particularly in those of interest to the TCS faculty.

The areas of interest broadly speaking are:  concurrency, logic, algorithms, complexity theory, automata theory.

The fellowships are normally for one year, but can be extended by up to an additional year.

Candidates are encouraged to first correspond with faculty members at IMSc whose interests overlap theirs. However, outstanding applications will be considered even if there is no overlap with our faculty's current interests. Post-doctoral fellows at IMSc are not formally affiliated with individual faculty members but are welcome to collaborate with any of our faculty. They are expected to contribute to the group's activities (for instance, by giving talks, organising  seminar series, etc.)

Please submit your applications online.  Only online applications will be considered. Please enter all the details as mentioned in the online application.

The application should contain the following:

  • Research area.
  • Personal details (Name, Nationality, PhD Details) and correspondence details (address, email and phone).
  • List of publications.
  • Research statement.
  • Resumé.

The applicant should arrange for at least two reference letters from persons familiar with their research work. The referees will get a link to submit their letters.

Deadlines

  • March 01
  • July 01
  • November 01

Selection Procedure

The post-doctoral committee meets thrice a year (in middle of March, July and November) to evaluate applications. Applications may be submitted anytime during the year, but will be taken up for consideration at the next possible meeting. Please ensure your application is complete (i.e., your CV, research statement and all reference letters have been received by us) before the appropriate deadline (for example, to be considered during the March meeting, your application should be complete on or before March 1).

The selection decisions will be communicated to all applicants by March 31, July 31 and November 30 respectively.

You may feel free to send an email to tcspdfcom AT imsc.res.in  if you do not hear from us after these dates.
