Ravenshaw needs world class faculty. Do you fit the bill?

Ravenshaw University wants to recruit the best faculty possible. The Vice Chancellor himself has asked for "Academics who love Ravenshaw" to join it. The full text of VC's message follows:

Search of Faculty

The State Government of Orissa has recently sanctioned about 140 faculty positions for the Ravenshaw University. These positions were already in the strength of erstwhile Ravenshaw College. They have now been created in the establishment of Ravenshaw University and the recruitment process will begin soon. The posts according to various disciplines are as follows: Departments Professor Reader Lecturer 1 Bengali - - 01 2 Botany 01 03 06 3 Chemistry 01 04 08 4 Commerce 01 03 06 5 Computer Science - - 03 6 Economics 01 03 06 7 Education 01 02 05 8 English 01 04 07 9 Geography - 02 04 10 Hindi - - 02 11 History 01 02 04 12 Mathematics 01 02 05 13 Oriya 01 02 05 14 Philosophy - - 03 15 Physics 01 03 05 16 Political Science 01 02 04 17 Psychology - 02 03 18 Sanskrit - 01 02 19 Sociology - 02 03 20 Statistics - 01 01 21 Urdu - 01 01 22 Zoology 01 02 04 Total 12 40 88 The faculty of an educational institution constitutes its most valuable and critical element. It defines the level of excellence and intellect which the University fosters. Great care therefore has to be taken in selecting members of faculty as they are likely to play a key role in the future course of its growth and development. The formal notice and advertisement for faculty recruitment will soon be published, both in this website and elsewhere. This may be treated as an advance intimation of the recruitment process. Through this we are requesting friends of Ravenshaw within the country and abroad to help in selecting the most talented and distinguished individuals for this Institution. We clearly need versatile people who apart from their academic excellence will be good at developing an academic culture to engage creatively with the challenges posed by contemporary times. They will be institution builders who can give vision and direction to their schools and departments. Our recruitment shall be for tenure positions. We would also consider contractual appointments and re-employment of superannuated persons as well as visiting faculties if their credentials are suitable. Academics who love Ravenshaw and who have had the opportunity of working in other institutions of academic excellence both in the country and abroad may consider taking up tenure assignments to lay the foundation of the new university. Their insights, borne out of experience and exposure to other challenging environments, will be invaluable. We welcome expressions of intent as well as enquires about these matters at ravenshawuniversity@yahoo.co.in. Besides, I will be happy to hear directly on my personal e-mail devdaschhotray@hotmail.com and also cell phone (09937087878). Devdas Chhotray Vice Chancellor
