I have no idea about Bangalore, but I know from personal experience that already-filled job ads exist and waste everybody's time. One of the junior faculty jobs I intereviewed for in the 90s at a prestigious US medical school turned out to be just such a thing - before I went people "in the know" told me which inside post-doc would get the position, faculty turnout to my presentation was low, and even during the visit somebody told me they thought it would be an inside deal. And in the end, it was.
I had much better things to do with my time. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phoebe A.

He did his PhD from IISc long long back in 1979 on small molecule crystallography. Then he did his postdoc in protein crystallography from two top most Universities of USA. He had been mentored by really really great protein crystallographers in USA. Everybody will agree that neither the Institute nor the mentors should be blamed for such acts. This is individual's character and act. I am sure that there are many more frustrated people who did not get through the prestigious institute at some level of their life. Such comments deserve nothing more than the ignorance. Seems grapes are sour :) MT On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 1:08 AM, Narayan Viswam <nvisw...@gmail.com<mailto:nvisw...@gmail.com>> wrote: Sham is very right about the institute. Narayana Sthanam's illustrious former colleague Krishna Murthy who faked so many structures & retracted quite a few papers was an alumnus of the institute.

What you write about IISc may be all true or it may be reflection of your frustration for not getting a job at IISc! How do we know? So, grow a ‘spine’, if you have a complaint, say it like a man and do not hide behind and bad mouth others anonymously like spoiled child. You are not only throwing dirt on such a prestigious Indian institution, and also on many decent and capable scientists who do outstanding work and produce brilliant graduate students, some of which I was fortunate to have in my lab.

It is a PREDETERMINED SELECTION, i.e. candidate is fixed and this (advertisement, screening, selection board, selection and approval) is just the procedure. It does not matter whether you apply or not. If you apply and called for interview, then you have to waste your valuable time as well as huge travel money unless some Big Boss is fixing you to the post. Interestingly Indian Institute of Science recruits and carries faculties and trains them in such a way that it has become a epicentre of recruitment scams across India and it make rest of Indian Scientists/Faculties in their path of scams and CRIME. Students also inherit the character of their boss. They do not participate in any form of fair selection in the country. Almost all cases they select and load many times inferior candidates even though candidate was not seen by anybody or interviewed. Similarly they distribute various national awards among themselves and within their group. THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED AT ALL. This is just an attempt of WASTING HUGE PUBLIC MONEY by a bunch of crooks who are good for nothing but worst for everything.
