Central University of Punjab (CUPB) 2026 Project Recruitment: 1 Project Research Fellow Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified individuals with a First/Second class M. Pharm. / M.S. Pharm. or Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, accompanied by at least one SCI publication. Candidates with a minimum of one year of research experience, particularly those skilled in medicinal compound synthesis, in silico drug design, various biological assays, and scientific documentation, will find this a valuable opportunity for short-term project engagement within a reputable central university.

Candidates without the specified post-graduate qualifications (M. Pharm./M.S. Pharm./Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences), lacking an SCI publication or the mandatory one year of research experience, should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this project-based, temporary position unsuitable, as it offers a contract for an initial period of one year, extendable based on project needs.

Working as a Project Research Fellow at the Central University of Punjab (established by an Act of Parliament) offers significant academic prestige and a strong foundation for a research career. This position provides exposure to advanced research methodologies in novel drug discovery, enhancing a candidate's research profile and opening doors to future academic, industrial, or government research roles. The experience gained within this central institution is highly valued.
