COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) published this notice in Khabrain on September 17, 2026. The university invites faculty applications on an open merit basis. Notably, this ad covers seven campuses at once: Islamabad, Sahiwal, Attock, Vehari, Abbottabad, Wah, and Lahore. Each campus has its own specialization needs. Tarlai is simply the address of the Islamabad campus, not a separate location.
Three faculty grades run throughout: Professor (OG-IV), Associate Professor (OG-III), and Assistant Professor (OG-II). However, not every campus offers all three tiers. So, check carefully which grade is open where you want to apply.
Campus-Wise Openings
Islamabad: Professor posts cover Bioscience, Electrical Engineering, and Physics. Associate Professor spans Art & Design, Humanities, Meteorology, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Management Sciences, Architecture, and Computer Science. Meanwhile, Assistant Professor concentrates heavily in Computer Science, with 5 posts alone, plus Architecture, Electrical Engineering, Biosciences, Humanities, Management Sciences, Physics, and Meteorology.

Terms Worth Knowing
Applicants must upload HEC-attested degrees, or equivalence certificates for foreign qualifications. Additionally, you’ll need experience certificates, and where applicable, valid registration with the relevant council, such as PEC or PCATP.
Part-time, honorary, visiting, or internship experience won’t count as valid experience. Only formal HR-issued employment letters do. Furthermore, if you’re applying for multiple positions or campuses, submit a separate application and fee for each one.
If the university finds any eligibility deficiency at any stage, or discovers fake information, it cancels your candidature immediately, even after appointment. However, if you already applied for Assistant Professor under CUI’s previous July 07, 2026 advertisement, you don’t need to reapply.
