Junior Faculty, Academic Support Staff & Lab Assistant

This recruitment is ideal for professionals seeking a short-term (initially 6 months, extendable) contractual engagement within a prestigious Central Government institution like FDDI. Candidates for Junior Faculty roles should possess a Master's degree in relevant Fashion/Design disciplines with at least 3 years of academic/industry experience and strong software proficiency. For Lab Assistant roles, individuals with an 8th/10th pass and practical skills in garment machine operation, repair, and pattern making will be well-suited. This opportunity is particularly relevant for those looking to contribute to academic requirements at the Chennai campus and gain valuable institutional experience.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with long-term stability and comprehensive pay scales (beyond consolidated pay) should not apply. This role is not suitable for freshers targeting Junior Faculty positions, as a minimum of 3 years' experience is mandatory. Those without the specific educational qualifications or practical skills for their respective roles will not be considered. Candidates unwilling to accept ad-hoc terms or a potentially temporary tenure should look elsewhere.

FDDI is an 'Institution of National Importance' under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, offering a reputable platform. While the current openings are ad-hoc, working with such a distinguished central institution provides significant professional exposure and experience that can be highly valuable for future career progression in both academia and industry. The roles offer an opportunity to contribute to fashion design education at a recognized institute, enhancing one's professional portfolio.
