PAF Air War College Institute, located at PAF Base Faisal, Karachi, has announced Advertisement No. 02/2026. The institute is inviting applications from qualified Pakistani citizens for Assistant Professor positions.
This is a specialized academic posting. All three vacancies fall specifically within International Relations, Political Science, and Economics.
Available Positions
Assistant Professor — International Relations/Political Science — 2 vacancies
- Qualification: PhD in International Relations, Political Science, or Economics
- Experience: Requisite post-qualification teaching or research experience at an HEC-recognized university or degree-awarding institute, as per HEC policy
Assistant Professor — Economics — 1 vacancy
- Qualification: PhD in International Relations, Political Science, or Economics
- Experience: Requisite post-qualification teaching or research experience at an HEC-recognized university or degree-awarding institute, as per HEC policy
Since all three posts share the same PhD-level qualification bar, this recruitment specifically targets candidates with doctoral degrees. Master’s or MPhil holders don’t appear eligible based on the ad’s stated requirements.
Terms and Conditions
All positions here run on a contract basis. HEC rules and regulations regarding eligibility for Degree Awarding Institutes (DAIs) apply throughout the selection process.
Candidates holding a foreign degree must submit an HEC equivalence certificate before the closing date. Otherwise, the institute won’t consider that application complete. Similarly, incomplete applications or those received after the due date won’t get any consideration.
If you’re already working in the government sector, you’ll need to apply through the proper channel. You must also submit a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your current institute or department.
How to Apply
Applicants must send a complete application dossier in both hard and soft copy. This should include a detailed CV, HEC-attested documents (degrees, certificates, transcripts, and HEC equivalence certificate for foreign degrees), experience certificates, CNIC, domicile, two recent photographs, and research publications.
Send your dossier to the Office of the Registrar, Air War College Institute, PAF Base Faisal, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi-75350. You can also email it to registrar@awci.edu.pk. The last date to apply is 17 September 2026.
Make sure your CV clearly states your contact number, postal address, and email. If any of these details change later, report it to the Registrar’s office immediately.
A Few Things Worth Noting
Only short-listed candidates will get a call for interview from the AWCI Selection Committee. No TA/DA gets paid for attending the interview.
Selected candidates will fall under the Statutes, Regulations, and Rules of PAF Air War College Institute, Karachi. The institute has also mentioned it will offer a competitive salary package to successful candidates, which is worth noting since many academic ads skip this detail entirely.
Since this posting specifically targets PhD holders in International Relations, Political Science, or Economics, it’s a strong fit for candidates who’ve already completed a doctorate and are looking for a faculty role at a defense-affiliated institute.
