Assistant Professor & Guest Faculty

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Hindu Studies, Philosophy, Sanskrit, or Ancient Indian History who possess a strong academic record (minimum 55% in MA) and have cleared UGC NET/JRF or hold a Ph.D. Candidates with a passion for teaching, research publications, and some prior teaching/post-doctoral experience, especially those with knowledge of Sanskrit, Philosophy, English Literature, and Ancient History, will be highly suitable. It's a good opportunity for academics seeking part-time or flexible engagement in a reputable university.

Individuals seeking a permanent or full-time position will find this role unsuitable, as it is a guest faculty assignment based on lectures with an honorarium. Those unable to physically submit their applications by the deadline and attend the walk-in interview with original documents should not apply. The absence of travel allowances for the interview might also be a deterrent for outstation candidates.

Panjab University, Chandigarh, is a well-regarded institution in India, lending a degree of academic prestige to this guest faculty role. While a contractual position, it offers an opportunity to gain valuable teaching experience within a reputable university and contribute to an interdisciplinary center. It could be a stepping stone for early-career academics or a flexible engagement for seasoned scholars, although it does not offer long-term job security typically associated with permanent faculty positions.
