Facilities at IUCAA include a network of state-of-the-art computers, high performance computing clusters, high speed internet connections, mirror sites of important databases, a very well-equipped instrumentation laboratory, and a library with exhaustive collection of books and periodicals. IUCAA operates a 2 m optical telescope, IUCAA Girawali Observatory (IGO), at Girawali which is about 80 km from IUCAA campus. IUCAA is a partner in the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), which is a 10m class telescope suited for imaging and spectroscopic observations of faint and distant objects. IUCAA is a major participant in space-based Indian astronomy missions AstroSat (current) and Aditya-L1 (upcoming), as well as in future projects including LIGO-India and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT)
Successful candidates will normally be expected to commence their fellowship in January 2026 or later.
