NISER, Bhubaneswar ad for fixed term faculty
November 26th, 2007
[The following ad is from http://www.iopb.res.in/niser/NISER-fixedterm-faculty.pdf. Thanks to Nrusingh for the mail on this to the NIS-IISER list. This is indeed a cause for concern as other IISERs have advertised and even hired regular faculty. This delay is probably because NISER still does not have a director. It was expected by many that DAE would move fatser than MHRD. However, taht does not seem to be the case here and further delay in recruiting regular faculty will make it harder for NISEr to get top-notch faculty; it will then only get the left overs.]
