Jadavpur University 2026 Recruitment: Guest Faculty Members (7 Vacancies)

This role is ideal for highly qualified academics holding an MA in Journalism & Mass Communication (or an allied subject) along with a Ph.D., NET, or SET qualification. Individuals passionate about teaching specific areas like Media Law, Film & Videography, or Gender Communication within a reputable state university will find this opportunity suitable. The position is a contractual, hourly-paid role, best for those seeking part-time engagement or specific project-based work.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment, a full-time position, or those without the specified advanced academic qualifications (MA plus Ph.D./NET/SET) should not apply. The role offers an hourly honorarium, which might not be suitable for those requiring a fixed, substantial monthly salary or comprehensive benefits. Additionally, no travel allowance (TA/DA) is provided for the interview.

Jadavpur University is a prestigious state-run institution in West Bengal, known for its academic excellence. While this is a guest faculty position, it offers an opportunity to associate with a highly respected university, which can enhance one's academic profile and provide valuable teaching experience. However, being a contractual role, it offers limited long-term growth and stability within the university itself compared to permanent faculty positions.
