Doctoral Student

One Ph.D. position is available in Dr. Banasree Sadhukhan's group at Mahindra University under the Prime Ministers Early Career Research Grant (PM ECRG) - ANRF. The position is open to highly motivated candidates with a strong background in condensed matter physics. The successful candidate will work on the project titled "Emerging magneto-transport and thermoelectric responses in altermagnets for novel application of energy harvesting." The project aims to explore the unconventional magneto-transport and thermoelectric behavior in a novel class of quantum materials known as altermagnets. These materials combine symmetry-protected spin-polarized transport with zero net magnetization. Through theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and data analysis, the project seeks to uncover mechanisms that enable efficient energy harvesting and spin-caloritronic functionalities. The outcomes of this research could significantly contribute to the design of next-generation energy-efficient devices and green technologies. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by emailing a detailed CV, including academic qualifications, experience, and contact information, to banasree.sadhukhan@mahindrauniversity.edu.in with the subject line: Application for PhD Position PM ECRG Project on Altermagnets. The fellowship details for this position are as follows: - Junior Research Fellowship (JRF): 37,000/month + 30% HRA = 48,100 (for 2 years) - Senior Research Fellowship (SRF): 42,000/month + 30% HRA = 54,600 (for 1 year) The field of study for this position is Condensed Matter Physics, and the location is Mahindra University, Hyderabad, India. We welcome highly motivated and passionate individuals to join our research group and contribute to this cutting-edge project in quantum materials and energy harvesting.
