University of Health Sciences, Lahore
The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore has opened eight senior teaching posts for medical professionals. The university is looking for Professors and Associate Professors in four medical subjects, and all eight seats are on a contract basis. Only candidates who hold a Punjab domicile can apply, so this round is aimed squarely at doctors and medical teachers already settled in Punjab.
Last date to apply: 13 November 2026. Both parts of the application — the online form and the signed hard copy with documents — must reach the university by that date.

Who Can Apply — Eligibility Criteria
These are senior academic chairs, so the bar is deliberately high. Applicants need a recognised medical qualification, MBBS or an equivalent degree registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC), plus a recognised postgraduate qualification in their own specialty. For Professor posts the advertisement expects teaching service at Associate Professor level together with a record of research publications in recognised medical journals. Associate Professor applicants need teaching service at Assistant Professor level and their own publication record.
The exact number of years of teaching service and the exact number of publications required for each specialty are set out in the official recruitment notice, and they follow PM&DC criteria. This summary does not invent those figures: read the official notice for your subject before you apply. Medical education training is also valued where the notice asks for it, and foreign-qualified doctors should check equivalence and recognition requirements in advance.
Domicile, Age Limit and Job Nature
Only Punjab-domiciled candidates are eligible for this round — applicants from other provinces cannot be considered, even if they meet the academic bar. The advertised maximum age is 65 years, subject to the conditions that apply to contract appointments.
