<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="320" data-end="771">I am writing to express my interest in joining NICMAR as a faculty member. With a completed PhD in Structural Engineering and over seven years of academic experience, I believe I can contribute meaningfully to the institute&rsquo;s academic and research environment. My journey in structural engineering has given me strong technical knowledge, while my teaching and research experience have shaped me into a dedicated and responsible academic professional.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="773" data-end="1359">Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in teaching structural engineering subjects, mentoring students, guiding academic projects, and participating in institutional activities. Teaching has been a very fulfilling experience for me. I strongly believe that engineering education should go beyond theory and help students understand real-world applications. Structural engineering, in particular, is closely connected to construction practices, project execution, safety, and sustainability. This natural link between design and construction is what draws me towards NICMAR.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="1361" data-end="1827">During my PhD, I developed strong research skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to approach problems in a systematic and detailed manner. Completing my doctoral research required discipline, critical thinking, and perseverance &mdash; qualities that I continue to apply in both teaching and research. I have also been involved in academic writing, publications, and technical discussions, which have strengthened my subject expertise and confidence as an educator.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="1829" data-end="2417">NICMAR&rsquo;s strong focus on construction management, infrastructure development, and industry-oriented education greatly interests me. I see an opportunity to integrate my structural engineering background with construction and project management concepts. I believe students benefit greatly when faculty members connect structural design principles with practical construction challenges such as cost, materials, site conditions, safety, and project timelines. I would be keen to contribute to subjects related to structural systems, construction technology, and sustainable infrastructure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="2419" data-end="2879">With seven years of experience, I have learned the importance of effective communication, student engagement, and continuous learning. I aim to create a classroom environment that encourages discussion, practical thinking, and confidence building. I also look forward to contributing to research initiatives and interdisciplinary collaborations within NICMAR, especially in areas that combine structural performance, construction practices, and sustainability.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="2881" data-end="3229">I am particularly inspired by NICMAR&rsquo;s reputation in shaping professionals who contribute to national infrastructure growth. India&rsquo;s expanding infrastructure sector requires educators who understand both technical depth and industry relevance. I believe my academic experience and research background position me well to contribute to this mission.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" data-start="3231" data-end="3580">In conclusion, joining NICMAR would be an important step in my academic career. I am eager to contribute my knowledge, experience, and passion for teaching to the institution while continuing to grow as a researcher and educator. I look forward to the opportunity to be part of NICMAR&rsquo;s academic community and contribute to its continued excellence.</p>
