Chemist / Quality Assurance Manager

About This Job

The College of Agriculture at the University of Sargodha is hiring one Chemist / Quality Assurance Manager for the EDF-funded research project Establishment of Centre of Excellence for Citrus-Sargodha. The appointment is tied to the remaining six months of the project and is therefore a fixed, project-specific opportunity rather than a permanent university post. The selected employee will work with the Centre of Excellence for Citrus at the College of Agriculture in Sargodha. The advertised lump-sum salary is Rs. 35,000 per month lump sum. This vacancy is especially relevant to candidates whose academic background fits laboratory, chemistry, quality-assurance or scientific-support work and who are comfortable joining a time-limited research initiative. The notice also establishes a clear recruitment timetable: documents must reach the project office before the closing time, and shortlisted candidates are expected to attend an interview shortly afterward.

For this particular role, the required qualification is At least 16 years of education in Chemistry or an equivalent discipline from an HEC-recognized institution. The university has not specified a numerical age limit, gender restriction, domicile quota or general experience threshold. It also has not advertised a separate application fee. Candidates should avoid adding conditions that do not appear in the official notice and should instead make the required degree evidence easy to verify. Because the appointment is only for the project's remaining six months, the terms state that a selected employee who resigns must give one month's notice or deposit one month's pay in lieu of notice. All degrees and supporting records should be legible and consistent with the curriculum vitae. Although the advertisement is brief, applicants can strengthen their submission by clearly identifying relevant laboratory, chemistry, scientific documentation, quality-control or technical-support exposure when it exists, while not presenting preference as a mandatory requirement unless the ad says so.

Applications must be prepared on plain paper and sent by courier with a curriculum vitae and supporting documents to the Focal Person, Centre of Excellence for Citrus, University of Sargodha, Lahore-Khushab Bypass Road near Ludewala Jhaal, Sargodha 40100. The package must arrive on or before 26 August 2026 by 4:00 PM; sending it by the deadline is not enough if it reaches the office late. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in the committee room of the Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, on 28 August 2026 at 9:00 AM. The notice gives Dr Yasir Iftikhar as Laboratory Head and Focal Person, with telephone 0300-9686405 and email yasir.iftikhar@uos.edu.pk for official contact. Applicants should label the desired post clearly, include copies of the relevant educational documents, retain courier tracking, and be ready to present originals if shortlisted. The official PDF should be used as the final checklist before dispatch.
