IOP Postdoc and RA Experimental HEP Recruitment 2026

IOP Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar (IOP) is recruiting Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Associates for its Experimental High Energy Physics group in Bhubaneswar. The group takes part in the CMS experiment at CERN and the GRAPES-3 experiment at TIFR-Ooty, India. The experimental research spans particle physics and cosmic rays, with openings attached to a Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) research project at IOP.

Posts and Disciplines

Postdoctoral and Research Associate positions share the research scope described in this notice. You can use the areas below to understand how your research connects with the group's interests.

• Higgs and Beyond Standard Model physics: these particle-physics topics form part of the experimental group's research interests.
• Detector instrumentation and trigger development: the notice includes these experimental areas alongside its physics research.
• Machine learning: this is another area named by the group within its experimental research programme.
• Cosmic-ray physics: the group studies this area using GRAPES-3 data and participates in the experiment at TIFR-Ooty.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: these positions belong to IOP's DAE project on research and development in cutting-edge theoretical and experimental physics, identified by RIO 4004.
• Initial tenure: your appointment starts with a one-year term. A further year depends on an evaluation under the institute's rules.
• Possible third year: continuation beyond the second year depends on both your performance and the availability of funds. You should not treat this possible extension as a guaranteed appointment period.
• Campus accommodation: IOP may provide accommodation if space is available. The notice does not guarantee a room on campus.
