IIT Ropar Postdoctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview
Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow for a National Quantum Mission (NQM) project in Rupnagar, Punjab. You will work under Dr. Vishwa Pal, Associate Professor, on Design and Development of Quantum Entanglement-Enhanced Imaging Systems. The project focuses on experimental quantum optics, with advanced quantum imaging as its wider goal.
The research centres on a customised laser source with controllable spatial coherence. This source is intended to generate entangled photons whose quantum correlations can be controlled, connecting laser development with the imaging system the project aims to build.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project engagement: This is a temporary fellowship tied to the research work. The initial appointment lasts one year, so you should plan your availability around that first period.
- Extension: Further periods may be offered after a review of your performance. An extension is conditional on satisfactory performance.
- Joining: If selected, you need to join immediately, within a few days of receiving the offer. The institute’s joining rules apply.
- Declaration: The application asks you to confirm that your information is correct and that you will follow institute rules. False particulars can lead to removal after joining.
