Visiting Faculty - Fahm-ul-Quran (Understanding of Holy Quran)

About This Job

The University of the Punjab's Department of Plant Pathology, part of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences on the New Campus in Lahore, is hiring a part-time visiting faculty member to teach Fahm-ul-Quran (Understanding of the Holy Quran) to its Ph.D., M.Sc. (Hons.) and B.Sc. (Hons.) students. Like its companion notice for Holy Quran Translation, this hourly-paid post exists because Pakistani public universities typically require every student to complete a compulsory Quranic studies component regardless of their specialization, and departments such as Plant Pathology arrange their own part-time instructors to deliver it rather than relying solely on a central Islamic Studies department. The university is inviting applications from capable individuals across the country who can take on this teaching responsibility.

Both male and female candidates are eligible to apply, and the notice does not lay out a rigid qualification ladder beyond the practical requirement of being able to teach Fahm-ul-Quran effectively at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels named in the advertisement; candidates with a background in Islamic Studies, Quranic exegesis (Tafseer), Arabic, or a related religious-studies discipline, combined with some teaching experience, will be the strongest fits. As this is a purely part-time, per-hour engagement rather than a permanent or contract post, there is no BPS scale, no stated age limit, and no fixed monthly salary, remuneration is calculated per teaching hour according to the university's prevailing rates, which were not disclosed in the advertisement itself. No provincial domicile requirement is specified, only that applicants be Pakistani nationals, and no application fee is charged for this hourly teaching role.

Candidates who wish to apply should send a CV along with photocopies of their academic degrees, CNIC, and experience certificates to the office of the Chairperson, Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of the Punjab, New Campus, Lahore. As with the companion Holy Quran Translation post, submissions for this position are accepted by post only, with no online application channel provided in the notice, and applications must reach the department's office on or before the closing date of 21st August 2026. Prospective applicants are advised to post their documents early to ensure timely delivery and may contact the department directly using the phone or email details on the advertisement for any questions before the deadline.
