International Islamic University Islamabad has issued this Expression of Interest for the headship of four of its entities: the Islamic Research Institute (IRI), the Iqbal International Institute for Research & Dialogue (IRD), the Dawah Academy and the Shariah Academy. One Director General is to be appointed for each of these four entities, so a candidate should be clear about which entity he or she is applying for and how his or her academic discipline relates to it.
These are senior academic leadership roles rather than entry-level appointments. The advertisement asks for a PhD from an HEC-recognised university in a discipline relevant to the entity concerned, and either a minimum of five years of experience after the PhD or fifteen years of combined teaching and research experience, together with demonstrated leadership in higher education. That wording gives two separate routes to eligibility, and a candidate needs to satisfy only one of them.
The pay offered is commensurate with the university’s existing package for a Professor under the BPS, TTS, Contract, CPS or Sponsored models, and the appointment is for a fixed term of two years. No rupee figure is stated in the advertisement. The age limit is also not specified in the advertisement, and anything else not covered here, such as the interview date or the selection procedure, is not stated in the official advertisement either.
