Welcome to the Opportunities page of my research group. I am building an interdisciplinary team to explore questions in statistical ecology, forecasting, and biodiversity dynamics. If you are motivated, curious, and excited about combining quantitative methods with ecological questions, I’d love to hear from you!

🎓 PhD Opportunities
There are two pathways to join my group as a PhD student:
*** We are looking for motivated PhD candidates via the direct entry pathway currently ***

-
Direct PhD Enrollment ( Can start anytime )
- If you already hold a fellowship, e.g., CSIR/UGC NET-JRF (Mathematical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Statistics), INSPIRE Fellowship (DST), DBT-JRF (Life Sciences/Ecology), you are eligible to join directly as a PhD student under my supervision.
- I encourage interested candidates to contact me anytime.
-
Project-linked Research → PhD Pathway ( Will open from Summer 2026 )
- If you don’t yet hold a fellowship, you may join initially as a project-linked researcher (up to 3 years).
- Strong performers will be supported to transition into a PhD under my supervision upon securing a fellowship (NET-JRF, INSPIRE, etc.)
- Once a fellowship is secured, you can smoothly transition into a PhD under my supervision.
🔹 Backgrounds Welcome: Statistics, data science, applied mathematics, physics, engineering, ecology —or anyone with a Master's degree eager to apply quantitative skills to ecology, forecasting, and biodiversity research.
🔬 Research Themes:
- Statistical & mathematical modeling of ecosystems
- Biodiversity forecasting under global change
- Nonlinear dynamics, time series, spatio-temporal modeling
- Data science & machine learning applications in ecology

🧑🔬 Postdoctoral Opportunities
I am open to hosting postdoctoral fellows with NPDF fellowships, or NBHM fellowships, or other externally funded postdoc positions. Please reach out early so we can co-develop a competitive project proposal. Currently, there is no opportunity for ISI-funded postdoc fellowship.
There could be a vacancy for institute-funded visiting scientist position (short-term) in my lab soon - email me!
