Visiting Faculty - Chinese Language (Fall 2026)

About This Job

Government College University (GCU) Lahore, one of Pakistan's oldest and best-known universities, has invited applications for two Visiting Faculty Members to teach Chinese Language on a lecture basis in the Fall Semester 2026. The teachers will work with the university's Centre of Excellence in China Studies, which runs Chinese language teaching and research on Pakistan-China relations. Interest in Mandarin has grown in Pakistan alongside CPEC and wider economic and educational ties with China, and GCU's Chinese courses attract a steady number of students. These short-term teaching posts suit qualified Chinese language teachers in Lahore who want to teach at a historic university without taking on a full-time position. GCU, founded in 1864, has a long record of teaching languages and the humanities, and its China studies centre has built links with Chinese institutions for language teaching and academic exchange. Visiting faculty help the centre meet student demand for Chinese courses each semester.

Applicants need at least an MS/MPhil or equivalent, meaning 18 years of education, in the relevant subject from an HEC-recognized institution. The engagement is paid per hour, for Fall Semester 2026 only, and depends on student enrolment and approval of the competent authority. GCU pays visiting faculty at fixed, qualification-based rates: Rs. 1,500 per hour for MS/MPhil holders and Rs. 1,800 per hour for PhD holders. The advertisement sets no gender, age or domicile restriction, so any suitably qualified teacher may apply. Candidates with teaching experience should attach their experience certificates, which the university asks for where applicable, along with their academic documents.

To apply, candidates must fill in the prescribed application form, which is available on the GCU jobs page at https://gcu.edu.pk/jobs. They must attach attested copies of their academic degrees and transcripts, CNIC and any experience certificates, plus a processing fee of Rs. 500. The fee can be paid through an HBL GCU Branch challan, online into account No. 2398-70001616-03, or by bank draft, demand draft or postal order in favour of "Vice Chancellor GCU Lahore", and the original proof of payment must be included. Complete applications must reach the Centre of Excellence in China Studies at GCU Lahore within seven days of the advertisement's publication. The university's jobs page gives the closing date as 14 October 2026. For queries, contact jobs@gcu.edu.pk or UAN 042-111-000-010, extension 325. Because the window is only seven days, interested teachers should prepare their documents and pay the fee right away so the application reaches the centre on time.
