About NUMS — What Makes This University Different
The National University of Medical Sciences is a public sector medical university established under the Government of Pakistan with a specific mandate in medical education, biomedical research, healthcare training, and clinical sciences. Based in Rawalpindi Cantt — associated with Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) — NUMS operates at the intersection of military healthcare excellence and academic medical research.
What distinguishes NUMS from many other medical universities in Pakistan is its Clinical Trial Unit infrastructure — a dedicated facility for conducting formal clinical trials, bio-analytical research, and research commercialisation. This makes NUMS one of the few Pakistani universities with an active clinical research infrastructure that meets international trial standards. The Clinical Trial Unit posts in this advertisement are specifically designed to build and operate this capability.
For faculty candidates, NUMS’s academic departments span public health, nutrition and dietetics, biotechnology, molecular biology and immunology, and molecular biology and genetics — covering some of the most research-active and globally relevant biomedical disciplines. These are not standard MBBS-program departments — they are specialist postgraduate and research departments where faculty are expected to produce research, supervise graduate students, and contribute to the university’s research output.
For non-faculty candidates — clinical research professionals, engineers, HR specialists — NUMS offers structured employment within a professionally managed public sector university environment with clear institutional backing and a Rawalpindi Cantt location.

Which Role Is Right for You?
If you are a PhD-qualified academic in public health, nutrition, biotechnology, or molecular biology — the faculty posts across NUMS’s five academic departments are directly relevant. Professor and Associate Professor positions at NUMS require doctoral qualifications and research experience — the specialisation requirements are highly specific. Candidates should ensure their research background matches the stated specialisation before applying. NUMS faculty are expected to be research-active — publication record and research supervision experience will be key evaluation criteria.
If your background is in clinical trials, pharmaceutical research, or bio-analytical science — the Clinical Trial Unit section offers 8 positions across a range of levels. The HPLC-MS and Bio-Analytical Scientific Officer posts require specific laboratory technique expertise. CRA and Senior CRA posts target candidates with formal clinical research associate training and ICH-GCP certification. The Research Pharmacist post is for PharmD or equivalent qualified pharmacists with clinical or research experience.
If you are a registered nurse with clinical experience — the Registered Nurse Officer post in the Clinical Trial Unit targets nurses who want to work in a research and clinical trials environment rather than a standard ward or OPD setting. Clinical trial nursing is a specialised career pathway with growing demand in Pakistan’s research sector.
If you are a project management or engineering professional — the Project Directorate posts target candidates with construction, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering backgrounds in the context of institutional infrastructure management. The Sub Engineer posts (B&R and E&M) are for technically qualified engineers with field experience.
If you are an HR professional targeting a public sector university role — the Assistant Director Human Resource post at NUMS Directorate is a senior administrative position managing HR functions for a public sector medical university. HR management experience in an academic or institutional environment is the target background.
How to Apply
1. Visit the Official NUMS Careers Portal. Go to: careers.numspak.edu.p.k This is the only accepted application channel. Applications submitted by email, post, or in person will not be entertained.
2. Review the Detailed Eligibility Criteria. ia Before filling the application form, review the detailed eligibility criteria for your specific post on the portal. The advertisement image lists post titles and departments — the specific qualification, experience, and research requirements per post are detailed on the portal. Do not submit an application without reviewing these criteria.

Select the exact post that matches your academic and research background.

- Personal details (name, CNIC, contact)
- Academic qualifications (degrees, institutions, years)
- Research publications and supervision history (for faculty posts)
- Professional experience and certifications
- Any clinical trial or research certifications (for CTU posts)
5. Upload Required Documents: Documents typically required for NUMS applications:
- Updated CV / Resume

💡 6 Practical Tips for NUMS Application
-
- Faculty posts require research specialisation match — do not apply to NUMS’s faculty posts if you are a generalist academic. Each position has a specific research specialisation — Nanomedicine, Molecular Virology, Vaccinology, Microbiome, Metagenomics, Natural Products. Your own research background must align with the stated specialisation. Applying for a Nanomedicine Associate Professor post with a general Biotechnology background — without specific nanomedicine research — is unlikely to progress beyond initial screening. Review your publication record and research focus carefully against each post’s stated specialisation.
- CTU posts require specific credentials — verify yours before applying. The Clinical Trial Unit posts have credential-specific requirements. The HPLC-MS Scientific Officer post requires hands-on HPLC-MS instrument experience. CRA posts typically require ICH-GCP certification and formal clinical research associate training. The Research Pharmacist post requires a PharmD or equivalent pharmacy qualification with research experience. These are not posts where general medical or pharmacy backgrounds substitute for the specific credential — verify that you meet the specific requirement before applying.
- HEHEC-recognisedegrees are mandatory — check foreign degree equivalence. NUMS is an HEC-recognised public sector university. All academic qualifications submitted in applications must be from HEC-recognised institutions. If your degree is from a foreign university, you must obtain HEC equivalence certification before your application can be fully processed. This applies particularly to faculty candidates with international PhD or postdoctoral qualifications — check your HEC equivalence status before the application deadline.
- Research publications are a primary evaluation criterion for faculty posts. For all Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor posts at NUMS, your research publication record is central to evaluation. Before applying, compile your complete publication list with journal names, impact factors, and indexing status (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science). HEC recognises specific journal categories for academic appointments — ensure your publications are in HEC-recognised or internationally indexed journals. Predatory journal publications are unlikely to count toward your eligibility.
- Project Directorate posts are separate from academic departments — apply accordingly. The Project Manager, Sub Engineer (B&R), and Sub Engineer (E&M) posts are infrastructure and project management positions — not academic roles. These posts target candidates with civil engineering, electrical/mechanical engineering, and project management backgrounds in institutional or construction contexts. PEC registration is standard for engineering posts in public sector institutions — ensure your PEC registration is current and valid before applying.
- Apply early — do not wait until June 22. The portal may experience high traffic near the deadline. Given the breadth of this advertisement — 29 posts across 8 departments attracting candidates from across Pakistan — the volume of applications near the closing date will be significant. Apply as soon as you have confirmed your eligibility and prepared your documents. Early applications are processed with more individual attention than a large last-day pool.

(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are NUMS faculty posts 2026 only for medical doctors (MBBS)? No. The faculty posts in this advertisement are not for MBBS-based clinical departments. They are for specialist academic departments — Public Health, Nutrition & Dietetics, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology & Immunology, and Molecular Biology Genetics. These posts require PhD-level qualifications in the relevant discipline — not MBBS. Candidates with doctoral degrees in public health, epidemiology, nutrition, biotechnology, molecular biology, genetics, or related biomedical sciences are the target applicant pool for the faculty positions.
2. Which departments are included in this advertisement? The advertisement covers eight units: Department of Public Health (DPH), Department of Nutrition & Dietetics (DND), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Department of Molecular Biology & Immunology (DMI), Department of Molecular Biology Genetics (DMBG), Clinical Trial Units (CTU), Project Directorate, and NUMS Directorate. The scope is not limited to teaching faculty — it includes clinical research, scientific, engineering, and HR positions as well.
3. What background is required for the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) post? Clinical Research Associate positions in Pakistan and internationally typically require a life sciences or pharmacy background (BSc/BS or above in a relevant field), formal GCP (Good Clinical Practice) certification from ICH-GCP or equivalent training, and practical experience in clinical trial conduct — site initiation visits, monitoring visits, data collection, adverse event reporting, and protocol compliance. The Senior CRA post requires more substantial hands-on trial experience. Candidates should verify the specific NUMS CRA requirements on the official portal.
4. Can candidates apply for more than one post? The advertisement does not explicitly address multiple applications. In standard university recruitment practice in Pakistan, candidates may apply for multiple posts if they genuinely qualify for each — but each application must be submitted separately with appropriate documentation for that specific post. Confirm this with NUMS directly at 051-9275316 before submitting multiple applications.
5. What do Sub Engineer (B&R) and Sub Engineer (E&M) mean? B&R stands for Building & Roads — covering civil construction, building maintenance, and roads infrastructure. E&M stands for Electrical & Mechanical — covering electrical systems, HVAC, generators, and mechanical infrastructure. Sub-engineers at Pakistani universities and government institutions typically hold DAE (Diploma of Associate Engineering) or BSc Engineering qualifications in the relevant discipline, with field experience in construction or facility management. PEC registration is standard for engineering positions in public sector institutions.
