Visiting Faculty (Lecturer) - Botany

About This Job

The University of Sargodha has invited applications for 1 position of Visiting Faculty (Lecturer) in Botany at the Department of Botany, as part of its per-hour visiting-faculty hiring drive for Academic Year 2026-2027. This vacancy is for a part-time, hourly-paid teaching engagement rather than a permanent BPS-scale appointment: the visiting faculty member(s) engaged for Botany will initially serve for one semester, with the possibility of continuation for a second semester within the same academic year depending on performance and departmental requirement, and the University reserves the right to discontinue the engagement at any time on the recommendation of the Chairperson concerned. The approved remuneration for this rank is Rs. 1500/- per contact hour taught. Pakistani nationals meeting the qualification and experience criteria for Botany are encouraged to apply for this opportunity to teach at the University of Sargodha before the advertised closing date.

Candidates applying for the Visiting Faculty (Lecturer) post in Botany must meet the following HEC-aligned eligibility criteria: A first-class MS/M.Phil degree, or an equivalent degree awarded after 18 years of education, in Botany or a closely related field from an HEC-recognized university/institution, with no third division anywhere in the academic career (this no-third-division condition does not apply if the candidate holds a higher degree such as a Ph.D. or equivalent, provided there is no more than one third division in the entire academic career). No prior experience or research publication is required. The advertisement does not mention any gender restriction, domicile requirement, or reserved quota (women, minority, or disabled) for this post, so applications are invited from all eligible Pakistani nationals regardless of gender or province of domicile. No specific age limit is prescribed for this rank in the official notice. Foreign degree holders must attach an equivalence certificate issued by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) with their application. Candidates already serving in a Government, semi-Government department, or an autonomous body must apply through the proper channel, and their applications must reach the University by the closing date through that channel to be considered. As per the University of Sargodha's recruitment policy, a CGPA of 3.00 or above out of 4.00 is treated as equivalent to a first division for the purposes of this qualification criterion.

Interested and eligible candidates should download the prescribed Visiting Faculty application form from the University of Sargodha's official website (www.su.edu.pk) and submit the completed form along with a detailed CV, attested copies of all educational testimonials, and two recent passport-size photographs to the Head of Department of Botany (or the Principal/Director of the relevant constituent college/institute/school), University of Sargodha, Sargodha.
