INSTITUTION OF EMINENCE (IoE)- Post-doctoral fellowship at University of Hydrabad

The INSTITUTION OF EMINENCE (IoE)- Post-doctoral fellowship (IoE-PDF) scheme is aimed at attracting motivated young researchers from across the country and abroad and providing them with the infrastructure and financial support to engage in creative, high-quality work in their discipline/area of interest. The fellow will work under a faculty mentor from an academic unit of the University. The training will provide them with a platform to grow as an independent researcher and potential faculty member of high quality. In addition to research, a fellow may be assigned teaching responsibilities, depending on their interest, to support and complement ongoing and/or initiate new programs in the respective academic unit as per the mandate of IoE.
