The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Lahore has opened eight senior faculty posts, five professors and three associate professors, in biochemistry, forensic medicine, pathology and psychiatry. Applications close on 13 November 2026, so eligible medical teachers have only a day left to complete the two-step process.

The posts were advertised in the Daily Dunya (Lahore edition) on 28 October 2026 under reference IPL-11407. They are contract appointments under the UHS Service Statutes 2005, and selected candidates can be posted at the university's City Campus or its Jinnah Campus at Kala Shah Kaku.

The eight posts

Five Professor posts in BPS-20 are available: one each in biochemistry, forensic medicine and psychiatry, and two in pathology. Three Associate Professor posts in BPS-19 are available: one each in biochemistry, forensic medicine and psychiatry. All eight posts are open only to candidates holding a Punjab domicile.

Applicants must hold an MBBS or equivalent medical qualification recognised and registered by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC), along with a PM&DC-recognised postgraduate qualification in the relevant subject. Professor applicants need a PM&DC-recognised Level III qualification, at least three years as an associate professor or nine years of teaching experience as an assistant professor, and a research record of six publications as an associate professor and 15 publications in total, including six in the last three years.

Associate professor applicants need a PM&DC-recognised Level IIb or Level III qualification, five years of teaching experience as an assistant professor, and seven publications as an assistant professor within a total of nine publications. All applicants must also hold at least a Level-IIa diploma or certificate of six months' duration in medical education from a recognised university, and must submit a PM&DC experience recognition certificate for the post applied for, or evidence that it is in process. The maximum age is 65 years, under the notification of the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department, Government of Punjab.

How to apply

Applying takes two steps, and both must be completed by 13 November 2026 within office hours. First, candidates must register online at the UHS jobs portal, portals.uhs.edu.pk/jobs. Second, they must send the signed printout of the online application, with attested copies of their CNIC, Punjab domicile certificate, educational documents and experience certificates, and the paid fee challan, to Room No. 12, HR Department, University of Health Sciences, Khayaban-e-Jamia Punjab, Lahore.

A non-refundable processing fee of Rs 2,000 applies. It must be paid through a 1Link invoice or at any branch of the Bank of Punjab using the system-generated challan. Applications without the paid challan will not be entertained, and the fee must not be paid through a 1Link top-up. Candidates working in a public sector organisation must apply through the proper channel.

What applicants should know

Online registration alone is not enough: the signed hard copy must also reach the HR department by the deadline, and late or incomplete applications will not be accepted. The online form cannot be edited after submission, so candidates should fill it carefully. Candidates with foreign qualifications must submit an equivalence certificate issued by the Higher Education Commission or the PM&DC, and experience certificates must be verified from the PM&DC.

Preference will be given to candidates with experience in a reputable public sector medical university or institution. The university can increase, decrease or withdraw the vacancies without assigning any reason. Candidates should verify every detail on the official UHS jobs portal before applying, and should not pay anyone more than the Rs 2,000 processing fee.
