Assistant Professor on Contract basis

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding an MBA in Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR, Quantitative Techniques, or Systems, who have also cleared the NET/SET or possess a Ph.D. degree from a recognized institution (or a top 500 ranked foreign university). Candidates with a Ph.D are preferred, as it offers a higher consolidated salary. This position is suitable for those seeking a teaching and research role in management studies within a university setting, with a clear understanding of the contractual nature of the appointment.

Candidates without an MBA and the mandatory NET/SET qualification or a qualifying Ph.D. should not apply, as these are essential criteria. Those looking for a permanent position or higher number of vacancies might find this role less appealing due to its contractual nature and limited posts. Individuals unable to adhere to the online application and subsequent hard copy submission deadlines will have their applications summarily rejected.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is a respected state-level autonomous university. While the initial appointment is contractual, it offers an opportunity to gain valuable academic experience at a recognized institution. The role involves contributing to the School of Management Studies, a core faculty area. Long-term growth prospects might involve transitioning to permanent faculty roles or using the experience to secure positions in other academic institutions, leveraging CUSAT's reputation.
