You should clearly mention that you are applying for a PDF (“Post Doctoral Fellow”) position in Mathematics.
Please arrange for at least two, preferably three, reference letters from persons familiar with your research work, to be sent directly to the Director (by email/fax/post).
Upon receipt of your application, you will receive an acknowledgement (by email if you have provided your email address).
Last Dates: March 1, July 1 and November 1.
Selection Procedure:
The post-doctoral committee meets thrice a year (in mid March, July and November) to evaluate applications.

You may feel free to send an email to pdfm AT imsc.res.in if you do not hear from us after these dates. In the unlikely event that there is still no response, you may contact any member of the math faculty, preferably someone whose interests closely match yours.
Fellowship:
The fellowship depends on number of years completed since thesis defence.
At present it ranges from Rs. 32,000/- (in case thesis is submitted but not yet defended) upto a maximum of Rs. 40,000/- per month.
