Gujarat University Teaching Positions Recruitment 2026 | Apply for 5 Temporary Contractual Posts

This role is most suitable for experienced academics holding a Ph.D. and a Master's degree in relevant disciplines (English, Commerce, Computer Science, Mathematics), particularly those who have cleared the NET/SLET examinations or have a Ph.D. from a highly-ranked foreign institution. Ideal candidates should possess a strong academic record, research publications, and a minimum of eight years of teaching/research experience for Associate Professor/Deputy Director roles. Exposure to Online/Open Distance Education is a desirable trait.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment will find this 11-month contractual position unsuitable. Individuals without a Ph.D. or a Master's degree with NET/SLET (as per specific post requirements) and the mandatory years of teaching/research experience for Associate Professor/Deputy Director positions should not apply. Those currently employed and unable to secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by the interview date might also face challenges.

Gujarat University is a well-established state university, offering an opportunity for academics to contribute to its Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE). While the positions are temporary, they provide valuable experience in a specialized and growing field, enhancing an academic's profile and offering potential for future engagements within the distance education sector. This can be a strategic move for those looking to diversify their teaching portfolio and gain exposure to online learning methodologies.
