Founding Provost (India Campus) – Global Top 20 University

Anderson Quigley is delighted to be retained on the appointment of a Founding Provost to establish a new campus in India on behalf of a prestigious global top 20 university.

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to shape, from day one, the academic direction, research reputation and long-term identity of a high-profile flagship international venture. The campus will deliver world-leading education to a rapidly growing student population and support ambitions on a national scale for the delivery of best-in-class higher education.

The role will guide academic governance and leadership, research development, culture building, and regulatory engagement, including alignment with Indian frameworks and forthcoming inspections. It will suit a senior academic leader with a strong research and international profile, experience across multidisciplinary environments and credibility gained within highly ranked universities. Familiarity with the Indian higher education landscape will naturally be valued.

A generous expatriate package and full relocation support are available.

More details will follow; in the first instance, please get in touch with Akhil Yerneni and Ed Pritchard for a private, early expression of interest.
