Have any of you thought of or tried to hire a post-doc? I know that a post-doc at an IIX is not all that attractive an option for a new Ph.D., but it may serve someone well in the short run. Presumably there would be several doctorates at your IIX who have finished but are in the limbo waiting for jobs or for post-docs abroad; these guys may be good to work with as post-docs, especially if they are from allied areas and are of similar age as you.

About 15(+/-3) slides should be sufficient to cover 15 min and for them to get an idea about you, your research and future goals.<br />3. Next 15 min will be a discussion where your depth of understanding, capabilities to perform the work, novelty, feasibility, etc. will be examined. You just need to talk without (wasting their time by) referring to your slides. <br />4. Clarify from INSA about your exact time slot. If you have a flight to catch, request for an alternative time slot. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />ChrisChrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-87351157782559192712012-06-12T22:07:57.825+05:302012-06-12T22:07:57.825+05:30Ankur is correct, the second memo extends the aust...Ankur is correct, the second memo extends the austerity measures including 10% expenditure cut etc to IITs and other autonomous bodies. However, this will not have a major effect as the main expenditure on this head is salaries and pensions which are excluded from the cut. There will be a cut in the budget available for travel, purchase of consumables and the like. There is a bar on creation of posts, but faculty posts already exist and are vacant, so faculty hiring will not be affected but this will affect hiring on the non-teaching side. IITs have already been asked to bring down ratio of non-teaching staff to faculty, so there is a bar on creation of non-teaching posts anyway.iitmsriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063826764366606345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-9291713524675852812012-06-12T20:19:32.200+05:302012-06-12T20:19:32.200+05:30Anon June 12, 2012 2:06 PM:

IMO, it does not matter how you change your objectives in your presentation as long as it is on the same topic that you wrote your project! I appeared for online interviews and even they did not want to see my slides. They expected me just to tell them. Since I needed some figures to explain I insisted on showing my slides. I heard from another candidate that she did not show her slides....Last time they mostly judged your overall understanding of the subject.
