Brief background about CKMNT and nature of job responsibilities
Establishment of CKMNT: CKMNT is a time-bound project partially sponsored by Nano
Mission of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India and operated by
the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials
(ARCI) in Hyderabad. It was established on 1st April 2009 and the project tenure is five
years (i.e., upto April 2014).
CKMNT’s Objective: The setting up of CKMNT was driven by the increasing need for an
institutionalized knowledge management framework capable of creating, maintaining,
categorizing and analyzing the vast nanoscience and nanotechnology related data
resulting from the explosive growth in knowledge being generated and information being
shared. CKMNT has set for itself the ambitious goal of becoming the one-stop
information resource centre for the entire “nano” community and be a window to the
rapid progress that is taking place in the field. Consistent with this goal, CKMNT seeks to
offer a host of services that would appropriately meet the diverse requirements of
researchers, industries, policy makers, financial institutions and venture capitalists with a
stake in “nano” and thus help in fulfilling the objectives of DST’s NANO MISSION.
Job Profile @ CKMNT: Recruiting the “right” team to achieve the above objectives of
Project CKMNT has been challenging. Based on our previous recruitment efforts, it is
deemed appropriate to provide some insight into the envisaged responsibilities/work
content for the posts of Senior Knowledge Officer and Project Knowledge Fellow
advertised above. It is emphasized that the expected job profile for the above posts
does not involve any laboratory work or participation in “R&D projects” in the area
of nanoscience & technology, either at CKMNT or at ARCI. Instead, it provides
exciting possibilities to embark on a career in knowledge management related to a rapidly
growing field having wide-ranging applications. It is expected that the selected Senior
Knowledge Officers/Project Knowledge Fellows will actively participate in in-depth topical
analysis of nanoscience and nanotechnology developments Using advanced
commercially available online patent, literature and business-related databases available
at CKMNT to generate on-demand, value-added techno-commercial reports, market
research reports, white papers, policy documents etc. They would also assist in creation
and management of CKMNT’s own databases. In addition, the selected candidates would
be expected to regularly contribute in compiling the quarterly newsletter, ”Nanotech
Insights”, that the Centre already publishes. Thus, the envisaged work content can be
extremely challenging as well as rewarding for persons with a sound technical
background, analytical acumen and a flair for writing. Aspiring candidates are advised
to keep the above in mind while applying for the above posts.
