Lab recently received funding from DST-SERB (2020-2023) for the project "Characterizing the effect of IBS and non-IBS of ice binding proteins on ice nucleation and growth"
Lab is equiped with two CPU-GPU high performace cluster and four small CPU-clusters.
In addition, Lab extensively uses central supercomputing facility (CRAY) and high-performance facility (CSS-cluster) at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science.
Motivated students with CSIR/UGC or other national fellowship from Physical Chemistry/Physics background can apply for possible PhD positions.
Interested fresh Ph.D. candidate with experience in molecular dynamics simulation, enhanced sampling techniques and/or statistical mechanics with individual fellowship or interested in applying for post-doc fellowship (N-PDF, DBT/RA, CSIR/RA) can directly apply to Dr. Biman Jana (pcbj@iacs.res.in).
