Visiting Faculty - School of Sociology

About This Job

The School of Sociology at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, has invited visiting/part-time faculty applications for the Fall Semester 2026, spanning an unusually wide range of twenty course offerings rather than a single subject area. The listed courses run from core sociology papers such as Introduction to Sociology, Sociology of Disaster and Crisis, Sociology of Innovation & Technology, Digital/Visual Sociology, Social Work and Correctional Services and Social Action, through to general-education subjects shared across QAU's Faculty of Social Sciences programs, including Functional English, Pakistan Studies, Ideology of Pakistan, Quantitative Reasoning, Quantitative Research Methods, Fehm-ul-Quran and Islamic Studies. This breadth suggests the School is filling its semester teaching load across both specialized sociology papers and the university's common compulsory courses, rather than hiring for a single vacancy.

Candidates are required to hold a minimum of MPhil or 18 years of education in Sociology or a closely related discipline from an HEC-recognized institution, with a PhD preferred where available. No numeric age limit, domicile restriction or gender preference is stated in the official notice, which was issued and signed by the Director, School of Sociology, with a copy shared for posting on the department's official webpage and social media page. As is typical of Quaid-i-Azam University's short-window visiting-faculty circulars, this is a per-course, semester-basis engagement rather than a permanent faculty appointment, and remuneration is expected to follow the university's standard per-credit-hour visiting-faculty rate, though no specific figure is stated in this particular notice.

Interested and eligible candidates should prepare their CV and email it to sociology@qau.edu.pk, ensuring it is received no later than Monday, 24 August 2026, after which only shortlisted applicants will be contacted for further steps. No online portal, postal submission option, or application fee is mentioned in the advertisement; email is the sole stated channel. Given the very short turnaround typical of QAU's department-level visiting-faculty notices, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to submit promptly rather than waiting until the stated deadline. For further information, candidates can contact the School of Sociology at +92-51-9064-20 or visit the department's own website at soc.qau.edu.pk.
