Scheme of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Ramanujan Fellowship Scheme of the Science and Engineering
Research Board (SERB) offer opportunities for young scientists to initiate and sustain research careers in various fields of science and
engineering. These schemes do not offer an extension of the fellowship after the completion of five years. The support link is broken
after the end of the tenure of the respective fellowships. In order to provide a platform for the sustainment of their research for some
more time, the SERB Board has recently approved a new â€˜SERB Research Scientist (SRS) Schemeâ€™ for the awardees of INSPIRE
Faculty and Ramanujan Fellowships, who fail to secure regular positions after completion of the regular tenure of five years in the
respective schemes. The fellows will be called â€˜SERB Research Scientistsâ€™. The scheme provides an opportunity for them to
continue their research activities and also to explore regular positions during the intervening period.Objective:Identify and provide a
platform for sustainment of the research career of INSPIRE Faculty and Ramanujan Fellows for an additional period of two years after
completion of the regular tenure of five years in the respective schemes.OkWas this helpful?ShareNews and UpdatesNo new news and
