Here is something you do not see every day. A chartered university in Lahore is hiring faculty through a plain email, and the ad closes on 19 October 2026. Forman Christian College, a private chartered university, needs faculty for its IEAP program at the Center for Language Development. No portal, no test fee, no long form. A cover letter, a CV, three references and your degree copies in one email to jobs@fccollege.edu.pk.
What caught my eye is how specific the English requirement is. The ad asks for CEFR Level C1 or above, which is the kind of line most Pakistani university ads never write. It tells you the hiring committee will actually test your English. If you teach English and you can prove C1, this is a shorter queue than the usual public university process.
