Chief Academic and Administrative Officer, Research Associate & Professor of Practice

This opportunity is ideal for seasoned academicians and administrators in Sanskrit or related fields. Candidates with a strong postgraduate background (minimum 55% in Sanskrit), NET/GSET/Ph.D. qualifications, or extensive specialized experience (15+ years) in areas like natural farming, Ayurveda, NGO management, or education are well-suited. The roles require individuals who are self-motivated, willing to work on a contract/honorary basis for 11 months, and capable of contributing to the 'Vedantic Science and Life Management (Integrated M.Sc.)' course.

Those seeking permanent government employment with long-term benefits should not apply, as these are temporary, contract-based, or honorary positions within a self-financed course, explicitly stating no claim to regular employee status. Individuals without significant experience in academic administration, research, or specialized fields (like natural farming, Ayurveda, NGO management, education) will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates expecting high pay scales might find the fixed Rs. 25,000/- or honorary status for certain posts not appealing.

Gujarat University is a reputable state university (NAAC A+ accredited), offering a platform for contributing to a unique 'Vedantic Science and Life Management' program. While the roles are contractual/honorary, they offer academic engagement within a recognized institution, which can enhance one's professional portfolio, particularly for those passionate about specialized interdisciplinary fields. However, career progression within these specific temporary roles is limited, and they do not lead to permanent university employment.
