Visiting Faculty - Postgraduate Research Centre of Creative Arts (PU)

About This Job

The Postgraduate Research Centre of Creative Arts at the University College of Art & Design, University of the Punjab, Allama Iqbal Campus, Lahore, is inviting applications for a visiting faculty position to teach Theories of Modern Art (CAD811) to students of the PhD programme in Art & Design (Art History & Studio Practice) for the Fall semester of 2026. The role calls for an accomplished academic in the field of art and design who can guide doctoral-level students through the theoretical foundations of modern art as part of their advanced coursework, and it reflects the College's practice of drawing on visiting subject specialists with active practice or research profiles to supplement its regular PhD teaching capacity for specific, specialized courses that a resident faculty roster may not always fully cover.

Applicants must hold PhD-level education in a relevant field along with professional experience of teaching and research in the subject, since the appointment is specifically for faculty duties within the Art & Design PhD programme rather than an entry-level teaching role. Candidates are expected to be outstanding in their field, demonstrating a substantial level of professional art activity through national or international contributions - such as exhibitions featuring new works, visual communication campaigns, or equivalent recognized work in their area of specialization - rather than academic credentials alone, reflecting the College's emphasis on practice-informed teaching at the doctoral level. The notice does not restrict eligibility by age, gender, or domicile, and remuneration is expected to follow the University's standard visiting-faculty arrangements, as no fixed rate is stated in the notice itself; the engagement is understood to run for the Fall 2026 semester in line with the course being advertised.

Interested candidates should submit their applications by email to director.prcca@pu.edu.pk, addressed to Prof. Dr. Samina Nasim, Principal of the College of Art & Design, along with a one-page CV, a copy of their CNIC, one passport-size photograph, and copies of their academic qualifications, no later than 30 August 2026. Applications received after the closing date will not be entertained, and only short-listed candidates will be called for an interview. Given the same-day closing date, interested and eligible candidates who believe they meet the College's criteria are strongly encouraged to prepare and submit their applications without delay, since the notice makes clear that late submissions will be excluded from consideration regardless of the applicant's qualifications. As with other visiting-faculty calls advertised through the University of the Punjab's careers page, applicants should retain proof of submission and be prepared to present original documents for verification if invited for interview.
