CUSAT Assistant Professor Forensic Science Recruitment 2026: Overview

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is hiring an Assistant Professor in Forensic Science for its School of Environmental Studies in Kochi. This is a contractual faculty appointment within the school, with an initial term and extension arrangements set by the university. The notice makes a practical point for your application: completing the online form alone is not enough, because the university must also receive its printed copy.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Initial term: The appointment starts with a one-year term. There is a break during the May-June vacation months, so take that break into account when considering the engagement.
  • Extension: CUSAT will decide any further extension from time to time. The notice does not promise an automatic renewal after the initial term.
  • Service rules: Your appointment and service benefits follow the Kerala Service Rules, Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules, and CUSAT's Act, statutes, ordinances and Syndicate decisions, including later amendments.
  • Reservation: The university will follow its communal reservation policy when making the appointment.
  • Pending proceedings: Recruitment proceedings remain subject to the outcome of any connected writ petitions or appeals before the High Court of Kerala.
  • Application claims: Claims without supporting evidence will not be considered. You also cannot add a new claim at a later processing stage if it was absent from your original application.

Application Submission Notes

Send the downloaded hard copy of your online application to The Registrar, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Kochi – 682 022. The notice treats receipt of this printed application as a separate requirement, and late applications will be rejected.

The hard-copy receipt deadline is recorded separately in the application requirements; do not confuse it with the online closing date. For questions about this recruitment, the School of Environmental Studies contact number given in the notice is 0484-2862955.
