University of Hyderabad Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026

University of Hyderabad Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026 — 2 posts

The University of Hyderabad, School of Medical Sciences (SoMS), Hyderabad, has invited applications for 2 Guest Faculty posts (UR) to teach the B. Optometry course under the new NCAHP syllabus and curriculum. The notification, UH/SMS/2026/___ dated 10 November 2026, leaves its reference number blank in the notice itself, so no reference number is given here. The appointment is purely temporary, for a maximum of one semester.

A typo in the notice — as printed

The notice describes the appointment as for the "(Monsoon semester) during Nov-Dec-2025". That is an apparent typo in the notice itself, since the notice is dated 10 November 2026 and the last date is 14 November 2026. It is reproduced here as printed and has not been silently corrected.

Who can apply

For the Optometry teaching, you need an M.Sc. in Optometry with a Ph.D. in Optometry, or a B. Optometry with an M.Sc. in Optometry and a Ph.D.; or an M.Sc. in Anatomy, a Ph.D. in Anatomy, or an M.D. in Anatomy. One year of experience in teaching or research with a minimum of 2 publications in WoS or Scopus indexed journals, and the ability to teach General Anatomy, are desirable.

Honorarium

Honorarium for guest faculty is as per UGC Guidelines (2019). No rupee figure is printed in the notice, so no salary figure is given here.

Fee and age

No age limit and no application fee are stated in the notice. Neither should be assumed.
