UNESCO-Russia Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences

Distinguished Dr Rao,

I trust this mail finds you well !

I am delighted to share with you some information on the Mendeleev Prize and the call for nominations of its third edition open now - attached.

I would also appreciate it very much if you share this information with those in your network who can made substantial contributions to science popularization and extend an invitation to them to apply for the Prize to strengthen candidates from Asian countries, in particular women.

UNESCO Member States on 21 October 2019, endorsed by acclamation the establishment of UNESCO-Russia Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences during the 207th session of the UNESCO Executive Board.

The creation of the Prize is in recognition of the remarkable contribution of the scientist Dmitri I. Mendeleev, a true Renaissance man, who developed the Periodic Table, one of the fundamentals of the basic sciences.

The Prize is also an enduring legacy to the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019), proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly at its 72nd session (document A/RES/72/228) and led by UNESCO.

The award of the Prize contributes to generating scientific research, technology and innovation, as well as pushing the production and application of scientific knowledge to the centre of societal and economic development, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Prize is awarded every year to two individual distinguished scientists in recognition for their achievements in the development, diffusion, and international cooperation in the basic sciences with significant transformational impact on a regional or global scale.

 

The prize-winner receives a financial award of USD 250,000 as well as a gold medal and a certificate.

 

The Statutes of the Prize are available in English, FrenchSpanishRussianArabic, and Chinese  

 

The nominations can be submitted by the following categories:

No self-nomination shall be considered.

All applications must be submitted online via a dedicated template available on the webpage of the Prize, by 15 March 2024 at the very latest, in English or French.

Internship Opportunity January 2024 - Chronobiology & Behavioural Neurogenetics Lab

We are open to internships (minimum duration of 3 months with the possibility of extension) to carry out any of the following projects. 

  1. Studies on populations evolving under a semi-natural environment (details can be found here - Chitrang Thesis 28Dec2022.pdf). Here we would be studying various life-history traits (development time, fecundity, tolerance to various stressors and lifespan) and circadian rhythms in oviposition. These would be conducted in our outdoor enclosure. Previous experience in a fly lab is great, but not essential.
  2. Studies on populations selected for morning or evening emergence (more information on these populations can be found here - Abhilash Thesis_10092020_revised.pdfArijit thesis revised 27052022.pdf). Here we are interested in exploring possible changes in their metabolism and their immune responses. We also wish to document any possible effects on wing expansion phenotype in the morning and evening emerging flies. Previous experience in a fly lab is great, but not essential.
  3. Studies on the consequences of presence / absence of conspecifics (social experience) on subsequent (C1) behaviours and (C2) life history traits of Drosophila melanogaster. In case of C1 we require the intern to have experience of performing behavioural observations on any organism and/or anyone with machine learning skills. For C2 previous experience in a fly lab is great, but not essential.

There is no possibility for any fellowship or stipend for these visits - On the other hand we will approach our Dean Fellowships and Extensions office for entry through the Long term visiting student Programme (LVSP - more details can be found here https://www.jncasr.ac.in/vsp). Students will need to find accomodation nearby as on-campus accomodation is not available. Interested students may email clockclub@jncasr.ac.in by Dec 31st 2023.

Post-doctoral opening for an SERB-funded project under Prof. Ganesh Subramanian, Engineering Mechanics Unit, JNCASR

We are looking for highly motivated PhD scholars to work on problems in theoretical microhydrodynamics. The position available is a Research Associate (I, II or III depending on prior post-doctoral experience) under auspices of the SERB project titled 'Motion of anisotropic particles in viscoelastic shearing flows: Microstructure, rheology and shear-induced migration'.

Applicants will have to have a strong background in microhydrodynamics, with expertise in  applied mathematics and physics, and published/accepted papers in top-tier Mechanics/physics journals (examples include the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physical Review Fluids, Physical Review Letters, etc). The principal problem will involve use of a spheroidal harmonics framework to determine position-cum-orientation dynamics of an anisotropic particle in a viscoelastic shearing flow as a function of the Deborah number. The results of the analysis and computations will be applied to a range of suspension-related problems including rheology, shear-induced migration, scalar transport and hydrodynamic stability. Motivated candidates will have ample opportunities to work on fundamental problems in other areas of fluid mechanics: examples include particle motion in stratified fluids, Statistical mechanical theory for bacterial turbulence and related areas in Active Matter, Elastic and inertio-elastic instabilities.

Interested applicants may mail their resume, along with supporting material (papers/preprints) to sganesh@jncasr.ac.in, emuoffice@jncasr.ac.in. The deadline is January 15th, 2023.
