The National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, TIFR, Pune, invites applications for a one year post graduate internship program in radio astronomy, beginning in August 2011.
This program has the aim of orienting bright and motivated students with a B. E. or a B. Tech. degree towards a research career in astronomy, particularly at radio wavelengths. The program consists of courses in basic physics (classical and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and electrodynamics) at the Master`s level, allied with exposure to computation, data analysis and basic astronomy. The students will also be introduced to radio astronomy, with an emphasis on areas studied with NCRA`s major facility, the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Selected students will be expected to participate in observatory related and academic activities at NCRA and GMRT, and will be given campus accommodation and a stipend.
ELIGIBILITY: Students who expect to complete their B. E/B. Tech. degree requirements by August 2011 are eligible to apply for the internship programme.
