He was a professor at [[University of Chittagong]], a member of the advisory board at [[Shahjalal University of Science and Technology]] and a member of the syndicate at [[Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cuet.ac.bd/syndicate.php |title=Syndicate of CUET |publisher=Cuet.ac.bd |date= |accessdate=2013-03-17}}</ref> He also served as the director of the Research Center for Mathematical and Physical Sciences [RCMPS for short] [[University of Chittagong]], [[Chittagong]], [[Bangladesh]]. [[File:Http://personalarticlesfaisal.weebly.com/uploads/4/0/0/5/40053411/324913.jpg?191|0px|thumbnail|Dr j n islam]] ==Early life and education== J. N. Islam was born on 24 February 1939 in [[Jhenaidah District|Jhenaidah]], Bangladesh. He studied at Chittagong Collegiate School, going on to Lawrence College in Marit, [[West Pakistan]] where he passed the [[Senior Cambridge]] and [[Senior Cambridge|Higher Senior Cambridge]] exams. He received a [[Bachelor of science|BSc degree]] from [[St. Xavier's College, Calcutta|St. Xavier's College]] at the [[University of Calcutta]]. Islam obtained his [[PhD]] in [[applied mathematics]] and [[theoretical physics]] from [[Trinity College, Cambridge]] in 1968, followed by a [[DSc]] in 1982.<ref>http://www.eaward.org.bd/eaward_new/PDF/16-84-90-Science.pdf</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ias-worldwide.org/profiles/prof48.htm |title=Prof. Jamal Nazrul-Islam |publisher=Ias-worldwide.org |date=1939-02-24 |accessdate=2013-03-21}}</ref> When Islam got admitted to Chittagong Collegiate School, he was doubly promoted for his extraordinary result in the admission test. Islam was the only person who studied Mathematics in the Higher Senior Cambridge level which is now GCE Advanced Level in the whole Pakistan. He used to say that “I never used calculator”. ==Academic career== Professor Islam worked in the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy (later amalgamated to [[Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge]]) from 1967 until 1971. Later he worked as a researcher in [[California Institute of Technology]] and [[University of Washington]]. During 1973-1974 he served as the faculty of Applied Mathematics of [[King's College London]]. In 1978 he then joined the faculty of [[City University London]] until he returned to Chittagong in 1984. Until his death he was serving as [[Professor Emeritus]] at the University of Chittagong. His research areas include [[Applied Mathematics]], [[Theoretical Physics]], [[Mathematical Physics]], theory of [[Gravitation]], [[General Relativity]], Mathematical [[Cosmology]] and [[Quantum Field Theory]]. Islam authored/coauthored/edited more than 50 scientific articles, books and some popular articles published in various prestigious scientific journals. Besides this he has also written books in [[Bengali language|Bengali]]. Particularly noteworthy are ''Black Hole'', published from the [[Bangla Academy]], “The Mother Tongue, Scientific Research and other Articles” from Rahat Publishers and “Art, Literature and Society” from Siraj Publishers. The latter two are compilations. He has participated and organized in several international conferences, seminars, symposia, workshops and meetings both in Bangladesh and in many countries of the world. <gallery> [http://personalarticlesfaisal.weebly.com/uploads/4/0/0/5/40053411/324913.jpg?191.jpg|Caption1 Dr J N Islam with a student] Example.jpg|Caption2 </gallery> ==Fellowship== *[[Third World Academy of Science]] Trieste.
