Federal University Dutse, better known as FUD, has thrown its doors open again, calling on bright minds and steady hands to join its growing staff. The university is searching across board, from Graduate Assistants just starting out, to Professors at the peak of their field. Non-teaching roles are also on the table.
It is the type of call that brings both excitement and a little rush. You know the kind of news that makes people dust off old files, look for certificates, and call referees at odd hours.
Academic positions
The range is wide. Here is how it lines up:
- Graduate Assistant: Needs a first degree with First Class.
- Assistant Lecturer: Requires Master’s degree, Law or medical degrees with internship and licence.
- Lecturer II: Needs a PhD or Master’s with good experience. Medical graduates must have full registration.
- Lecturer I: Must hold a PhD with at least 5 papers and 3 years’ experience, or a Master’s with more publications and longer years in teaching. Doctors with fellowships also qualify.
- Senior Lecturer: PhD with 10 publications and 6 years on the job.
- Associate Professor: PhD with 15 publications, 9 years’ experience, and lead author in at least 5 works.
- Professor: PhD with 20 publications, 12 years’ experience, and lead author in at least 10 works.
For most posts, a Second Class Lower at first degree is the bare minimum. The phrase “PhD or its equivalent” covers medical fellowships like FWCP or FMCP.
