Senior ship officers who hold a Master (Foreign Going) or MEO Class I (Motor) certificate can apply for contract faculty jobs at the Indian Maritime University (IMU), Navi Mumbai Campus. The campus is at Training Ship Chanakya, Nerul, and needs 2 Nautical Science and 1 Marine Engineering faculty. There is no online form: you email your application by 16.11.2026, and selection is by interview.
This is a contract job, not a regular post. The contract is for six months at first and can be extended based on your work in the earlier term and your appraisal reports.
You need a Certificate of Competency (CoC), the licence a seafarer holds for a rank on board, recognised by the Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping). It must be a Master (Foreign Going) CoC, the captain’s licence for international voyages, for Nautical Science, or an MEO Class I (Motor) CoC, the senior engineer’s licence for motor ships, for Marine Engineering.
You also need 6 months of sailing at management level, which the STCW Convention (the international rules on seafarer training and certification) defines. Check that your sea service counts before you apply.
There is no written exam, but only shortlisted candidates get an interview call. The notification says no TA/DA (travel and daily allowance) is paid, so you meet the travel cost yourself.
The pay is at most Rs 1,20,000 a month and depends on your experience and qualification, so your offer may be lower.
