IIM Visakhapatnam Professor of Practice Recruitment 2026: Multiple Contractual Positions

This role is ideal for seasoned professionals and distinguished experts who have made significant contributions in management or allied knowledge areas, and are looking to transition into academia or contribute to an Institute of National Importance on a contractual basis. Candidates should possess a strong desire to mentor, teach, and leverage their practical expertise to shape future leaders, either full-time or part-time. Those with extensive industry experience, a robust professional network, and a commitment to nation-building through education will find this opportunity particularly appealing.

Individuals seeking traditional, permanent academic tenure-track positions should not apply, as this is a contractual role. Applicants who lack substantial, demonstrable professional contributions or significant leadership experience will not meet the eligibility criteria. This position is also not suitable for those expecting a fixed, pre-defined pay scale without negotiation or those unwilling to commit to the flexible, rolling nature of the application and selection process.

As an Indian Institute of Management (IIM), IIM Visakhapatnam holds high national prestige, operating under an Act of Parliament. The Professor of Practice role offers a unique opportunity for experienced professionals to impact a premier institution, contributing to its academic and research endeavors while directly influencing future management professionals. This position carries significant professional recognition and offers a platform for national contribution, enhancing one's legacy within a top-tier educational framework.
