3. Job Position Detail (Faculty-wise Breakdown)

A. BASIC SCIENCE FACULTY 🧪

🔍 Interpretation of basic science hiring:

• The focus in foundational departments (Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Community Medicine, Pathology, Forensic Medicine) is on Assistant Professor level, with one Associate Professor opening in Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
• Pathology appears to be recruiting sub-specialists in Histopathology, Chemical Pathology, and Hematology, which signals that the School is planning for a complete diagnostic and teaching ecosystem, not just lecture-based instruction.

B. CLINICAL SCIENCE FACULTY 🩺

4. About SMDAS, PAF-IAST 🏥

The School of Medicine, Dentistry and Allied Sciences (SMDAS) is a newly approved medical and health sciences school under Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (PAF-IAST). PAF-IAST is located in Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on Khanpur Road, Mang. The institution was founded to bring applied, high-impact, industry-aligned education to Pakistan in areas like engineering, technology, and health sciences.

Now, with the government’s approval to establish a medical, dental, and allied health school, PAF-IAST is expanding into clinical education, patient care, teaching hospital integration, and specialized diagnostics. 🩺

What this means for applicants:

• You’re joining at foundational stage
  Faculty hired now will be part of the initial academic and clinical setup. This can accelerate your career in leadership, curriculum design, departmental structuring, and clinical governance. This is attractive for Associate Professors and Professors who want more influence than they might have in an old, rigid legacy institution.
• Recognition and compliance
  All appointments must comply with the latest Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC) regulations for teaching rank. That means your academic experience, fellowship training, post-graduate qualifications (FCPS, FRCS, MRCP, MD/MS, etc., as applicable), research publications, and service record will be reviewed according to PM&DC rules for the advertised post level.
• Clinical footprint in KPK
  With departments ranging from General Surgery and Ophthalmology to ICU and Emergency, PAF-IAST is building toward a comprehensive, modern healthcare training environment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is especially promising for candidates who want to practice and teach in a region where patient volume is high and case mix is diverse.
• Interdisciplinary growth
  “Dentistry and Allied Sciences” in the school’s name signals a long-term plan not only for MBBS-style medical education, but also for applied health, diagnostics, and allied clinical services. That means more structured, multidisciplinary collaboration — e.g. Pathology with Radiology and ICU, Psychiatry with Emergency, Pediatrics with Community Health, etc.
• Location advantage
  Haripur, positioned in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Islamabad/Haripur belt, gives access to both urban and semi-urban patient populations. This creates an excellent environment for clinical training, community medicine, outreach programs, and family medicine rotations.
