ISRO SATELLITE CENTRE [ISAC] is one of the major Research and Development Centres of Indian Space Research Organisation [ISRO] responsible for development of Satellite Technology. Over the years, ISAC has planned and executed several satellite missions of ISRO. Having successfully developed and deployed state-of-the-art operational satellites for Communication, Meteorology and Remote Sensing, the Centre is poised to leapfrog into development of advanced versions of satellites like Microwave Remote Sensing Satellites, Direct Broadcasting Satellites, Interplanetary probes, Scientific Missions, etc. Towards self-reliance, indigenous development of various advanced and critical technologies in the Satellite development activities are very essential. The Space programme in our country is focused on providing highly reliable operational services for socio-economic development of the country. Opportunities are available for the Young Scientists to associate themselves in pursuing Research & Development work in cutting edge technologies.How to apply :Candidates may visit our website: www.isac.gov.in to register their applications on-line.Applications will be received on-line only.The candidates should register their applications on-line between 16-02-2008 to 07-03-2008.Upon registration, applicants will be provided with an on-line Registration Number, which should be carefully preserved for future reference.The on-line application has to be invariably followed-up with a ''No Objection Certificate'' from the employer concerned, by those already in employment under Central/State Government, Public Sector Undertakings, Autonomous Bodies or any Organisation which is aided by Government.
