 Faculty constitutes the most critical input in the life of an educational institution. It is they who define the level of excellence and intellect which the university fosters. Great care therefore has to be taken in selecting the faculty at the foundation stage as they will determine the future course of its growth and development.

            The formal notice and advertisement for the faculty recruitment will soon be posted both in this website and elsewhere. This may be treated as an advance intimation of the recruitment process. Through this we are requesting the friends of Ravenshaw, within the country and abroad, to help us select the best faculty for this institution. Any lapse at this stage in choosing the right kind of faculty will be too costly to regret.

            Clearly we need versatile persons who, apart from their academic excellence, will be good at developing an academic culture to cope with 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 employment of superannuated persons as well as visiting faculties if their credentials are up to the mark. Academics who love Ravenshaw,  and who had the opportunity of building themselves in other institutions of excellence, both within the country and abroad, may consider taking up short term assignments to lay foundation of the new university. Their contribution, arising out of their exposure and experience, will be greatly valued.

            We shall be happy to receive expressions of intent as well as enquires about these matters by correspondence through ravenshawuniversity@yahoo.co.in

Vice Chancellor
