Vedanta University’s academic strength is directly dependent on the caliber of faculty at the institution. The University will attract and engage intellectual leaders and promising young talent from around the globe to build a robust academic foundation.

The University will further facilitate an attractive faculty environment by recruiting top talent as students, promoting original research, developing flexible academic programmes, creating world-class infrastructure, and making every effort to minimize constraints for academic progress.

• Competitive salaries: A commitment to a career in research and teaching cannot be driven solely by pecuniary motives. However, it would be unwise to believe that in today’s world where talent is globally mobile, that this is unimportant.
  
  
• Job flexibility: A big handicap of India’s public universities is often the litany of rules that strangulate creativity. Vedanta University will minimize creative interference, and expects that the faculty will be talented enough so as to be in demand globally and will often spend a summer, semester or year, somewhere else, be it within the country or outside. We see that as an asset, not liability.
  
  
• A salubrious in-campus work environment: A common challenge in India’s public universities is the quality of in-house administration. Academics are often poor administrators. Consequently a lean administrative structure with professionals, while contracting most other services, is essential. A university administration that sees its role to help faculty and students realize their full potential and a peer group that is excellent, is critical to attract world-class faculty.
  
  
• An attractive location: The University will place special emphasis on attracting young faculty because they are more easily mobile, have greater energy, and are at the cutting edge of research. The university will need to have an excellent surrounding community. A direct road to Bhubaneshwar International Airport and a rapidly growing urban centre will attract bright faculty who may have highly skilled spouses looking for employment in equally good organizations.
