Cochin University of Science and Technology 2026 Recruitment: Assistant Professor (Contract) - 5 Vacancies

Ideal candidates are highly qualified individuals with a B.Tech and M.Tech in relevant engineering specializations (Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics), preferably with a Ph.D. They should be passionate about teaching and research in a university setting and be prepared for a contract-based appointment. Experience in an academic or research environment, though not explicitly mandatory, would be a significant advantage.

Those seeking permanent government positions or without the specified B.Tech and M.Tech qualifications should not apply. Candidates who are not comfortable with the contractual tenure (up to one year or until a regular teacher joins) may find this role unsuitable. Individuals whose qualifications do not strictly match the specialized engineering branches mentioned will also be ineligible.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is a reputable state university known for its engineering and science programs. This contractual role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to a distinguished academic institution, gain valuable teaching and research experience, and potentially build a profile for future permanent faculty positions. It provides exposure to high-level academic work within a respected public university system.
