Bahria University, one of Pakistan’s most reputable institutions of higher education operating under the motto “Discovering Knowledge,” has announced opportunities through Bahria University Faculty Jobs 2026 for highly qualified and experienced academics at its Islamabad campuses. The university is inviting applications for both Regular Faculty positions and Professor of Practice roles across three departments — Software Engineering, Computer Sciences, and Professional Psychology.
Bahria University Faculty Jobs 2026 is a focused but significant hiring round. Unlike broad multi-department advertisements, Bahria University’s current openings are targeted at specific specialisations, which means the competition will be among genuinely relevant candidates and the selection is likely to be thorough and merit-driven. If you hold a PhD or MS/MPhil in the relevant fields and are looking for a stable, prestigious academic career in Islamabad, this advertisement deserves your full attention.
About Bahria University
Bahria University was established under the patronage of the Pakistan Navy and has grown into one of Pakistan’s leading multidisciplinary universities. With campuses in Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore, it offers programmes across engineering, computing, management sciences, psychology, earth and environmental sciences, and more.
The Islamabad campus, spread across the E-8 and H-11 sectors, is the university’s flagship location and home to its most established academic departments. Bahria University holds HEC recognition, maintains strong industry linkages, and has a consistent track record of producing employable graduates — a reputation that makes a faculty appointment here professionally rewarding and institutionally credible.
The university is an equal opportunity employer and explicitly welcomes applications from all eligible candidates regardless of gender, background, or disability.
Available Positions – Regular Faculty
Bahria University is hiring Regular Faculty across three departments at its Islamabad campuses. Here is a complete breakdown:
Department of Software Engineering | Campus: H-11
Qualification Required: PhD or MS/MPhil Specialisation: Software Engineering with COMP PEC number
This department is hiring at both the PhD and MS/MPhil levels, giving opportunities to candidates at different stages of their academic careers. The specific requirement of a COMP PEC number alongside the Software Engineering specialisation indicates the university’s focus on professionally registered academics who meet Pakistan Engineering Council’s standards for computing disciplines. Candidates without a COMP PEC number should check their eligibility before applying.
Department of Computer Sciences | Campus: E-8 and H-11
Qualification Required: PhD or MS/MPhil Specialisation: CS and AI
The Computer Sciences department is hiring across both Islamabad campuses — E-8 and H-11 — with positions available at PhD and MS/MPhil qualification levels. The specialisation in CS and AI reflects the growing institutional priority placed on Artificial Intelligence as a discipline, consistent with national and global trends in technology education. This is a strong opportunity for researchers working in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, or related AI subfields.
Department of Professional Psychology | Campus: H-11
Qualification Required: PhD Specialisation: Clinical Psychology
The Professional Psychology department at H-11 is hiring PhD-level faculty with a specialisation in Clinical Psychology. This is a more selective position given the specific doctoral-level requirement and the clinical focus. Pakistan’s mental health sector is expanding rapidly, and university-based clinical psychology programmes are increasingly in demand — making this a department with genuine growth potential for a faculty member interested in both academic and applied dimensions of the field.
Professor of Practice – A Distinct and Valuable Opening
Alongside the Regular Faculty positions, Bahria University is also hiring for a Professor of Practice role, which is worth understanding separately because it represents a different kind of academic appointment.
Department of Professional Psychology | Campus: E-8 and H-11
Qualification Required: PhD Specialisation: Organisational Psychology or Clinical Psychology Experience Required: 10 years or above
A Professor of Practice is not a traditional research-focused academic role. It is designed for senior professionals who have built substantial real-world expertise in their field and wish to bring that experience directly into the classroom and curriculum. The 10-year experience requirement confirms this — Bahria University is looking for someone who has spent a decade or more working in organisational or clinical psychology and can translate that into high-impact teaching, mentoring, and programme development.
This is an excellent opportunity for experienced psychologists — whether from corporate HR and organisational development backgrounds or from clinical practice — who hold a PhD and are ready to transition into or expand their role within higher education. The dual-campus placement at both E-8 and H-11 also suggests this role will carry meaningful institutional weight across the psychology programme.
Key Eligibility Conditions
A few eligibility points apply uniformly across all positions in this advertisement and are worth noting clearly.
Candidates must possess degrees from HEC-recognised national or international universities. This applies to all degrees in the qualification chain — not just the highest degree. All degrees must be duly attested by HEC before submission.
For the Software Engineering position specifically, the COMP PEC number requirement adds an additional professional registration condition that candidates must verify independently.
The experience threshold for the Professor of Practice role — a minimum of 10 years — is a firm requirement, not a preference. Candidates with less experience will not meet the criteria regardless of their academic qualifications.

Bahria University’s 2026 faculty recruitment at its Islamabad campuses is a well-targeted advertisement that speaks directly to academics and practitioners in Software Engineering, Computer Science and AI, and Professional Psychology.

For PhD holders in Clinical Psychology, AI and Computer Science, or Software Engineering, and for senior psychology practitioners with a decade of experience looking to step into academia, this is a timely and credible opportunity at one of Pakistan’s well-established universities.
