Job Title: Krea Teaching Fellows – Communications

Department: Communications

Job Location: IFMR GSB, Sri City Campus: #5655, Central Express Way, Sector 24, Sri City, Chittoor – 517 646, A.P

IFMR GSB invites you to teach and tutor  MBA students by applying for a Teaching Fellow position. As a Teaching Fellow, you will have an opportunity to participate in the innovative pedagogy being developed at Krea University. You will also have an opportunity to work closely with faculty members of the Graduate School of Business.

The Teaching Fellows Programme has been envisioned keeping two principles in mind. First, early-career researchers are often unsure about pursuing an academic trajectory that incorporates both teaching and research largely because they lack prior teaching experience to make an informed decision. The Teaching Fellow programme at Krea addresses this imbalance by providing a safe space for early-career academics to explore pedagogy first-hand with the full support and mentorship of the Krea faculty. Second, in order to promote a symbiosis between research and teaching, we encourage our Teaching Fellows to seek and leverage opportunities for professional advancement within and outside the Krea learning environment.

Educational Qualification: Candidates with a Master’s degree in Business Administration, General Management including Communications or a related field. Applicants with an MPhil or those currently pursuing a Ph.D. are also welcome to apply.

Remuneration: The remuneration package is competitive. Accommodation will be provided on campus.
