<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR) is a prestigious institution dedicated exclusively to construction, real estate, infrastructure, and project management. I wish to join NICMAR as a faculty due to strong academic alignment and institutional commitment. Currently, while pursuing my doctoral research at NICMAR University in the domain of contract management, I have experienced the University's emphasis on applied research, industry relevance, and interdisciplinary engagement. Now, I seek to contribute to this ecosystem in a broad academic capacity. Through my doctoral research, I am attempting to bridge the gap between contractual theory and the challenges of practical implementation. I have published my work in ASCE's Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction, with a couple of ongoing works currently under review in reputed journals. This reflects my commitment to rigorous research in the domain of construction contracts. I believe such rigorous research closely aligns with NICMAR's vision and mission of producing academically robust and practically relevant knowledge. Further, having more than 10 years of experience in teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Civil engineering and Construction Management. I have also performed various administrative responsibilities during the period of my work, which have strengthened my understanding of academic governance and quality assurance. NICMAR's strong industry interaction, focus on professional education, and research culture correlate with my academic journey. I particularly want to contribute to construction contracts, project procurement, project planning, estimation and construction technology. I also look forward to mentoring the students to address the challenges in the dynamic construction sector. Beyond these individual contributions, I look forward to participating in institute-level initiatives and contributing to them.</span></p>
