Azim Premji University, Bhopal, started operations in August 2023, offering postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. The first phase of campus construction is complete and the overall 50-acre campus with state-of-the-art academic and residential facilities will be ready over the next few years. We expect to grow to about 4000 students and 500 members over the next few years.
In addition to teaching in our programmes, we offer faculty an enriching and fulfilling institution building experience encompassing interdisciplinary programme design, setting up and implementation of key institutional processes, culture building, and participation in various institutional bodies. The University encourages and offers support to faculty members for pursuing their own research.
We are particularly interested in candidates who are committed to teaching, research, and practice in the areas of:
-
Large scale Government programs and health systems
-
Intersectoral aspects of health
-
Social determinants of health and health equity
-
Social science perspectives in health including social determinants of health and health equity
Faculty members at the University are expected to engage in designing courses, teaching, mentoring students, research, engaging with public health practice, public writing and policy work.
