If you are a prospective PhD student, with hopefully a CSIR/UGC funded fellowship, and interested to work with us, please get in touch! 

Note that we are also hoping to hire an institute funded PhD student this year (2026).

I have no scope of hiring postdoctoral fellows from Institute funding, however of you're interested to apply for some central funding for the same, please send out a holler.

Working opportunities:

I am actively looking forward to building a research group where we can tackle challenging problems and have ample physics discussions. If you are an interested student, and/or have a foundation on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Field Theory, General Relativity and String Theory, please do not hesitate to drop me a mail. We can take it from there. 

I am on the lookout for PhD and MS students to work on various problems related to Conformal Field Theories, Non-Lorentzian Symmetries, String Theory and  Quantum Chaos. Please get in touch for details. 

If you have your own funding from CSIR/UGC, that is an added advantage. 

The  institute is inviting PhD applications for the winter semester 2026-2027. Please apply through bitsadmission.com/bitsphweb/Index.aspx
