Junior Faculty & Jr. Lab Assistant

This role is most suitable for individuals with specialized educational backgrounds and practical experience in Footwear Design, Leather Goods, Fashion Merchandise, or Retail Operations. Ideal candidates should possess strong teaching abilities, communication skills, and be proficient in relevant industry software or practical skills (e.g., machine operation for Lab Assistants). Applicants must be prepared for an ad-hoc engagement with a consolidated pay structure, offering valuable exposure to a government institute.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment with comprehensive benefits should not apply, as these positions are ad-hoc with consolidated pay and limited perks. Individuals without the specific educational qualifications or the required practical/teaching experience in the mentioned design, manufacturing, or retail fields will not be considered. While some Jr. Lab Assistant roles may accommodate limited experience, Junior Faculty positions generally require significant experience, making them unsuitable for freshers.

Working at the Footwear Design & Development Institute (FDDI), an institution under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a specialized sector. While the ad-hoc nature of these roles limits direct long-term career progression and institutional benefits, it provides significant government sector work experience and exposure to an academic environment focused on design and innovation. This can be a valuable stepping stone for future career opportunities in both academia and industry.
