Research students
Research scholars are selected by the TIFR university cell, which sets up the procedure for selection of candidates. Look up the web pages for physics admissions. Note that the ILGTI is part of the Department of Theoretical Physics. Students desiring to work in lattice field theory should express their desire to do work in theoretical physics.
Visiting scientists and teachers
ILGTI has a thriving program of visiting scientists, including university and college teachers. If you are interested in visiting us or working with us, then please write to any faculty member of the ILGTI, telling us about yourself and your interest. For practical reasons, we would like to request you to start your discussions with us at least half a year before you would like to visit us.
School teachers
While the ILGTI is a research program and has no direct connection with physics teaching at the school level, there are individuals in the program with strong interest in these matters. If you would like to discuss projects with us for your students, or would like to arrange a school visit please write to any faculty member of the ILGTI, telling us about you, your interests and needs. If you are interested in finding teaching aids beyond the usual school curriculum, we are willing to open a dialogue. For practical reasons, we are unable to provide last minute help, but are willing to start a dialogue in advance of your needs.

TIFR has a long-running program of summer projects for university students. Please visit the web page of the Visiting students' research program for more information. The ILGTI is part of the Department of Theoretical Physics of TIFR. If you would like to do a summer project on lattice field theory, then please mention this explicitly in your application to the program. Please remember to apply well in advance for this. Unfortunately we are unable to accept students for summer projects outside of this program.
