Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service 2026 Recruitment: 02 Faculty Members

This role is ideal for highly experienced academics and researchers holding a Ph.D. in International Relations, Political Science, History, Management, Economics, or International Law. Candidates must have a strong background in teaching or research (minimum 10 years), excellent communication skills, and proficiency in IT. Those with prior experience in international cooperation, foreign trade, or working with government think-tanks/universities on foreign policy issues will find this a particularly suitable opportunity to contribute to India's diplomatic training.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with standard benefits like Provident Fund, Pension, Gratuity, or HRA should not apply, as this is a strictly contractual position without such entitlements. Candidates without a Ph.D. in the specified fields or less than 10 years of relevant experience, or those exceeding 45 years of age on the application deadline, will not be considered. The limited number of vacancies (02) means competition will be intense, requiring applicants to meet all essential criteria precisely.

Working as a Faculty Member at the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service (SSIFS), under the Ministry of External Affairs, offers significant professional prestige and the unique opportunity to shape future Indian diplomats. While the position is contractual, it provides an invaluable platform to influence India's foreign policy training and engage at a high strategic level within the government. The role presents growth opportunities through continuous engagement and impact on critical national initiatives, despite being on a non-permanent basis.
