The Calcutta University has issued a notification looking for an "outstanding scholar of national and international repute" for appointment of the Mahatma Gandhi Chair professor.
The notification came days after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced setting up the chair to commemorate Gandhiji's 150th birth anniversary next year.
The notification sought applications for the Chair professor who will facilitate "eminent scholars on Gandhi to teach and conduct research" on the Father of Nation.
The notification stipulated qualification for the post as "an outstanding scholar of national and international repute, who has a proven track record from the areas of Political Science/History/Philosophy and such other disciplines of Social Sciences as may be required to fulfil the mandate of the Chair."
Vice-Chancellor Sonali Chakrabarti Banerjee said, "The notice has been issued to find someone who will fit the bill as Chair Professor and enable eminent scholars on Gandhi to teach and conduct research on his life and work."
