PU Guest Faculty Forensic Science Recruitment 2026: Overview

Panjab University (PU) is engaging Guest Faculty in Forensic Science for its Department of Forensic Science in Chandigarh. The assignment supports teaching in the Master of Science programme during the odd semester of the academic session. This is a lecture-based guest teaching engagement, with classes covering forensic science topics from the department's syllabus.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Teaching assignment: You will teach the department's postgraduate Forensic Science classes. The notice links the subjects to the existing syllabus, so your classroom work follows the programme's academic coverage.
  • Semester scope: The engagement is for the odd semester of the 2026-2027 academic session. Read the assignment in that semester context when considering your availability for teaching.
  • Weekly availability: The teaching schedule lists Monday to Friday. Your availability needs to fit the department's weekday classes rather than a weekend-only teaching arrangement.
  • Basis of engagement: The department describes the assignment as lecture-based. The payment terms are tied to that arrangement, so a monthly ceiling should not be read as a guaranteed monthly payment.
  • Financial assistance undertaking: You must give an undertaking about not drawing a fellowship, stipend or financial assistance from another agency while teaching as Guest Faculty in the department. Check this condition against any funding you already receive.
  • University scholarship holders: The notice separately addresses those already receiving a Junior Research Fellowship scholarship at the university. They cannot receive the guest teaching payment, but the department will issue an experience certificate for their Guest Faculty work.
  • Interview travel: The university does not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. You need to account for your own visit to Chandigarh when planning to attend.

Application Submission Notes

Send or deliver your hard-copy application to the office of the Department of Forensic Science, Sector 14, Panjab University, Chandigarh. The department identifies its premises as the Old BMS Building, which helps you locate the office on campus.

Use the Assistant Professor application form identified in the notice on the university's forms website. Although this recruitment is for Guest Faculty, the department directs applicants to that form for the application.

The notice asks for the application in physical form at the department office. Plan around the office receiving your application, and use the document requirements shown separately on this listing when preparing your application papers.
