Ahmedabad:
Nearly half of the 700-odd applications received by the newly opened
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)- Gandhinagar for faculty
positions are from NRIs, teaching in premiere universities all over
the world.
Director of IIT-Gandhinagar Sudhir Kumar Jain said at least three
NRIs teaching in prestigious universities in the U.S. and Singapore
will join them by the end of December, reports Economic Times. The
institute has received over 300 applications from NRIs teaching in
universities across UK, U.S., Europe, Japan, Israel, South Korea,
Canada and Singapore for teaching positions.
"This is a great development as we would get Indians who are
involved in cutting-edge research and academics and are finding
opportunities in India attractive. More so for us as the faculty
would get to prove academic excellence given that we are a new
institute compared to other IITs and hence more open to ideas," says
Jain.
The three faculty members who are expected to join by December
include Sameer Dalvi who specialises in solid-solid reaction and
phase equilibrium. Dalvi, who did his PhD from IIT-Bombay, currently
teaches in Columbia University. Sriram Kanvah too has a PhD from IIT-Bombay
and specialises in bio-organic chemistry.
The third faculty to join is Surendra Ranganath who completed his
doctorate from University of California, specialises in digital
image and signal processing and currently teaches at National
University of Singapore. Apart from the NRIs, a large number of
senior faculties, who have retired from IIT-Bombay are also expected
to join IIT-Gandhinagar.
There is of course sentiment attached to returning home, but these
NRIs are also attracted by the stable economy even as developed
countries battle recession. "To attract more talent from abroad, we
are also offering them option to go abroad twice a year to pursue
research and academics," says Jain.
