PhD Admissions 2010
Centre for Liquid Crystal Research (CLCR) Jalahalli, Bangalore is an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The Centre, which currently focuses on liquid crystal materials and devices, aims to expand research interests to related areas in soft matter. The Centre has close collaborations with other research institutes, both within the country and abroad.
As a prime part of research activity, CLCR conducts doctoral programme and for the award of Ph.D. degree, it is affiliated to Mangalore University. The Centre invites applications for the Ph.D. admissions from motivated candidates willing to take up research in the above areas. Fellowship will be provided to students and they will be encouraged to participate in national workshops, symposia and conferences. Hostel accommodation is available for students.
