Crooks. Returning to India in 2000, he joined [[Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute]] (CSMCRI) as a scientist and in 2001, he received an [[Alexander von Humboldt Foundation|Alexander von Humboldt fellowship]] which enabled him to continue his professional studies with Fritz Vögtle and Christoph Schalley<ref name="Former Schalley Lab Members">{{Cite web |url=http://www.bcp.fu-berlin.de/en/chemie/chemie/forschung/OrgChem/schalley/Group_Members/index.html |title=Former Schalley Lab Members |date=2016 |website=Schalley Lab Homepage}}</ref> at Kekulé Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of [[University of Bonn]]. He resumed his duties at CSMCRI in 2002 as a C-Grade Scientist, a post he held till 2007 during which time he had a second spell at Bonn University from April to October 2003. In 2007, he joined [[Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science]] as an assistant professor where he served as the head of the department of inorganic chemistry from 2012 to 2015 and is a professor there.<ref name="Faculty profile" />

== Legacy ==
Ghosh is reported to have done extensive researches on [[Anion]] recognition, molecular capsules, chemical sensing of [[Ions]], inorganic salt extraction, supramolecular aggregations and interlocking molecules.<ref name="Faculty profile" /> He has developed several [[ligands]] with varying anion recognition elements as well as methodologies for selective sensing of phosphates, separation of hydrated metal sulphates/potassium bromide and bromide removal using [[halogen bonding]].<ref name="Speaker profile" /> The development of [[Gypsum]] chalk replacing the [[calcium carbonate]]-made chalk which was in use traditionally was one of his notable contributions.<ref name="The New Global Research Hotspot: Molecular Magic" /> His researches have been documented by way of a number of peer-reviewed articles;<ref name="Publications">{{Cite web |url=http://mailweb.iacs.res.in/inorg/icpg/p_ghosh_complete_publication.html |title=Publications |date=2016 |publisher=Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science}}</ref> [[ResearchGate]], an online article repository of scientific articles, has listed 112 of them respectively.<ref name="On ResearchGate">{{Cite web |url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Pradyut_Ghosh |title=On ResearchGate |date=2016 }}</ref> He holds a patent for the process developed by him viz.
