About This Job

The Department of Pharmacy at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad has issued an urgent call for Teaching Assistants cum Lab Demonstrators and Visiting/part-time faculty to support both theory and laboratory instruction during Fall Semester 2026. The advertisement, numbered PHM/2026-9184 and dated 18 August 2026, lists an extensive set of theory courses including Functional English, Physical Pharmacy, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pathology, Basic Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Forensic Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry, and Fehm-ul-Quran for postgraduate students, alongside a parallel set of laboratory and practical courses covering Physical Pharmacy Lab, Organic Chemistry Lab, Biochemistry Lab, Physiology Lab, Drug Delivery Systems, Pharmacology and Therapeutics Lab, Pharmacognosy Lab, Clinical Pharmacy Lab, Industrial Pharmacy Lab, Biopharmaceutics Lab, Pharmaceutical Quality Management Lab, Pharmaceutical Technology Lab and Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Lab.

Candidates are hired into one of two categories: Teaching Assistant cum Lab Demonstrator, for which enrolled PhD scholars will be preferred as per QAU rules (though PhD scholars will not be considered for theory-only courses), or Visiting Faculty, open to holders of MPhil or MS degrees in the relevant field. There is no fixed vacancy count stated, since the department is hiring across a large list of courses and will match qualified applicants to specific course needs. No application fee is charged, and there is no separate age limit mentioned in the advertisement, so the platform's informational default applies. The appointment is contractual and tied to the Fall Semester 2026 teaching cycle only, consistent with how QAU engages part-time and visiting instructional staff across departments.

Interested and qualified candidates must submit a one-page CV by email to pharmacyoffice@qau.edu.pk, clearly indicating which category they are applying for (TA cum Lab Demonstrator or Visiting Faculty) and the specific course title(s) they wish to teach, with applications due no later than 12:00 PM on Tuesday, 25 August 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview, scheduled for 31 August 2026 at 10:00 AM in the office of the Chairman, Department of Pharmacy.
