Visiting Faculty - Pakistan Study Centre (PU)

About This Job

The Pakistan Study Centre at the University of the Punjab, Quaid-i-Azam Campus, Lahore, has announced an opening for a Part-Time/Visiting Faculty member to teach the course "Understanding of Holy Quran / Fehm-e-Quran" during the Fall Semester 2026. The engagement is a single-semester teaching assignment covering the prescribed curriculum over a 16+2 week course cycle, and the appointed faculty member will be responsible not only for classroom instruction but also for conducting, compiling, and administering the semester's examinations for enrolled students at the Centre. This is a recurring type of short-term academic engagement that the Pakistan Study Centre periodically advertises to supplement its regular faculty as course loads and enrolment change from semester to semester.

Candidates are required to hold, at minimum, an M.Phil or MS degree (or an equivalent postgraduate qualification) in a relevant subject area from a university or institution recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The notice explicitly states that candidates holding a Ph.D. degree, together with relevant prior teaching experience, will be given preference over those meeting only the minimum M.Phil/MS threshold, though a specific number of years of experience is not quantified in the advertisement itself. No age limit, gender restriction, or domicile requirement is mentioned in the notice, and the opportunity is accordingly treated as open to all eligible applicants regardless of domicile or gender. Compensation for the visiting-faculty engagement is understood to follow the University of the Punjab's standard per-course/per-credit-hour visiting faculty rates, though the exact figure is not disclosed in this particular notice.

Interested and eligible candidates should prepare a complete CV along with supporting documents covering their educational qualifications and any relevant teaching or research experience, and submit this either by email to director.psc@pu.edu.pk or by post directly to the Pakistan Study Centre, University of the Punjab, Quaid-i-Azam Campus, Lahore, addressed to the Director. All applications must reach the Centre on or before the closing date of September 10, 2026; the notice specifies that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview, so applicants who do not hear back should assume they were not shortlisted for this round. Queries regarding the position can be directed to the Pakistan Study Centre office at phone/fax 042-99231148 or via the email address above.
