Associate Professor

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Ph.D. degree in relevant subjects, complemented by a Master's degree with strong academic records. Candidates must possess a minimum of eight years of dedicated teaching and/or research experience at the Assistant Professor level or equivalent, along with a commendable publication history. Those specializing in Music, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, or Traditional Indian Art Forms with equivalent professional achievements and a Master's degree are also highly sought after. Aspirants committed to contributing to a state university's academic and research environment, aligned with regional development goals and innovative pedagogy (including AI integration), will find this position particularly suitable.

Candidates without a Ph.D. (unless specifically eligible under the special provisions for traditional artists), or those with less than eight years of relevant teaching/research experience should not apply. Individuals above 60 years of age are not eligible. A lack of meticulousness in completing both the online application and sending the hard copy of documents by the stipulated deadlines will lead to rejection. Applicants unable to pay the prescribed non-refundable application fee will also be excluded.
