NISER wiki and NISER’s visiting faculty

NISER has a nice wiki page which has more information than its web page. Browsing through its wiki, especially the faculty list, one gets the impression that NISER has hired some young Ph.Ds as visiting faculty. I guess the visiting faculty position for the young PhDs is like a untenured position and some of them may be offered a full-time position. The current young visiting faculty are:

Physics:

Chemistry:

Mathematics:

  • Deepak K Dalai, Ph.D ISI Kolkata (2006), Post-doctoral Experience INRIA France
  • Sanjay Parui, Ph.D ISI Bangalore, Post-doctoral ISI Kolkata (2006)
  • Kamal Lochan Patra, Ph.D IIT Kanpur (2008)
  • Lingaraj Sahu, Ph.D, ISI Kolkata, ISI Bangalore

Biology:

  • Rona Banerjee, PhD 2005, Shah Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata (Note: She had enquired about NISER in Orissalinks in September 2007.)
  • Harapriya Mohapatra , University of Delhi, Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar
  • Rajendra Behera, Post doctoral experience at University of Hyderabad and IISc Bangalore
