However, experience gained can be valuable for applying to regular faculty/technical positions when advertised. Candidates may get opportunities to work on multiple research projects, publish research papers, and enhance their academic profile. Extension of contract is possible based on project continuation, funding availability, and individual performance, but transition to permanent positions requires applying through separate regular recruitment processes.
