National Institute of Ayurveda IPR Chair Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is most suitable for highly experienced professionals with a strong background in Intellectual Property Rights. Ideal candidates include established academics (Professors/Associate Professors in IPR), seasoned IP attorneys, or retired senior officials from IP offices, all possessing significant research, teaching, or practical experience in IPR. A doctorate degree is required for retired officials and implied for academic roles. Candidates must be capable of leading and facilitating IPR development, education, and research initiatives for a five-year contractual term.

Individuals without substantial, demonstrable experience (minimum 5-10 years depending on background) in Intellectual Property Rights, or those exceeding 70 years of age, should not apply. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment may find this fixed-term contractual position less appealing.

The National Institute of Ayurveda, a Deemed to be University under the Ministry of Ayush, offers a prestigious platform for IPR leadership under the SPRIHA Scheme. This position provides significant scope to influence IPR policy, research, and education at a national level, contributing to a vital area of intellectual property development within both academic and governmental frameworks. While contractual, it offers substantial influence and recognition within the IPR domain.
