BZU Multan Jobs 2026 – 61 Professor & Associate Professor Posts on Permanent Basis, Apply Before 7 December

Last Date to Apply: 7 December 2026 (during office hours) — both the online form and the hard-copy dossier must be completed by this date.

BZU Multan Jobs 2026 — 61 Senior Faculty Posts Announced

Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan has opened one of the largest senior faculty recruitments of the year. The university is inviting Pakistani nationals to apply for 61 permanent posts: 21 Professors in BS-21 and 40 Associate Professors in BS-20, spread across its departments, colleges and schools. For senior academics in southern Punjab, this is a rare chance to secure a permanent top-rank post without moving to Lahore or Islamabad.

BZU is one of the biggest public universities in southern Punjab, with its main campus in Multan and sub-campuses in the region. A permanent professor or associate professor post there carries the full weight of a public university career. The advertisement is dated 26 October 2026 and is listed as new on the university official news page, which confirms this is a fresh round and not a re-run of an older notice.

Which Subjects Are Covered

The Professor posts cover 18 subjects, including Economics, Islamic Studies, Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Law, Analytical Chemistry, Computer Science, Parasitology, Agricultural Engineering, Textile Engineering, Zoology, Food Science and Technology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Urdu, History and Education. The Associate Professor posts cover 33 subjects and add fields such as Political Science, Public Administration, Sociology, English, Mathematics, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy subjects, Civil Engineering, Physics and Surgery, among others.

The detailed advertisement lists every post department by department, so check it for your exact subject before paying the fee. One caution: in late October 2026 the university also withdrew six previously advertised teaching posts in the Gillani Law College and the Vehari sub-campus. Those belong to an earlier advertisement, but the overlap in subjects means applicants should confirm their department appears in the current 26 October advertisement, not an older notice.

Eligibility Criteria for Professor and Associate Professor Posts

Only Pakistani nationals can apply, and every post requires a PhD in the relevant field from an HEC-recognized university. For Professor (BS-21), the advertisement asks for 15 years of teaching or research experience, or 10 years after the PhD, plus 15 research publications in HEC-recognized journals, with at least 5 of them in the last 5 years. For Associate Professor (BS-20), it asks for 10 years of teaching or research experience, or 5 years after the PhD, plus 10 research publications, with at least 4 in the last 5 years.

Professional registration rules also apply where relevant: engineering applicants must be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council, pharmacy applicants with the Pharmacy Council of Pakistan, and veterinary sciences applicants with the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council. Law posts also accept the LLM or J.D route printed in the advertisement. The advertisement does not state an age limit, which is unusual and welcome, but candidates should still read the detailed notice for any post-wise condition.

Application Fee for BZU Faculty Posts

The fee is Rs. 8,000 for a Professor post and Rs. 6,000 for an Associate Professor post, per post, and it is non-refundable. It can be paid as a computer-generated bank draft or deposited by bank challan or online transfer into the university branch accounts named in the advertisement.

Fraud warning: never pay anyone who promises you a faculty post at Bahauddin Zakariya University or claims they can arrange your selection for a fee. The only genuine payment is the prescribed Rs. 8,000 or Rs. 6,000 fee through the route named in the advertisement, and selection runs through the university own process. Anyone demanding extra money for shortlisting is a fraud — do not send money or original documents.
