Welcome message
Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi proudly announces hosting of the first Post-doctoral Research Conclave (PDRC2018) on April 12, 2018. We warmly welcome post-doctoral researchers from universities, research institutions and other organizations to Jamia Hamdard in the Conclave to share their exciting research and to network with their peers.
Overall, post-doctoral research is still much unorganized in India. This is in contrast to scenario in the US and other scientifically advanced countries where post-doctoral researchers contribute majorly to research output of a laboratory. In India there are post-doctoral research opportunities such as Research Associateship of CSIR, DBT, and ICMR. Besides, there is a post-doctoral fellowship offered by SERB named as N-PDF (National – Post-doctoral Fellowship) and UGC supports post-doctoral research by offering Dr. D.S. Kothari Fellowship. Besides, post-doctoral opportunities are available under sponsored research projects. In spite of these initiatives post-doctoral research has not properly bloomed in India and is not taken seriously.
Taking a major initiative to boost post-doctoral research and to invite talented and enthusiastic researchers on its campus Jamia Hamdard launched Silver Jubilee Post-doctoral Research Fellowship Programme in 2015 from its own resources. Value of these fellowships was substantially enhanced in 2017 to make them at par with the fellowships offered by the government agencies. Recently, four post-doctoral researchers have been offered these fellowships which include a researcher from abroad. Jamia Hamdard is keen to promote post-doctoral research culture and views the post-doctoral researchers as the future leaders of science and academia. Jamia Hamdard with its top ranking in Pharmacy and cutting edge research in other allied disciplines has attracted post-doctoral researchers. Currently, we are proud host of half a dozen SERB N-PDFs. This Conclave (PDRC2018), the first of its kind in India has been conceptualized and patronized by our dynamic leader Prof. (Dr.) Seyed Ehtesham Hasnain, Vice Chancellor, Jamia Hamdard who has mentored over a dozen of PDFs and is a strong advocate of post-doctoral researchers and their grooming as the future leaders.
The Organizing Committee welcomes all the post-doctoral researchers, young and experienced to this Conclave with the hope that their participation will bring out stimulating ideas and provide them an opportunity to network.
