Company Info
Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) isn’t just another university. It’s a legacy. Founded in 2003, DUHS has grown into a powerhouse of medical education, research, and clinical excellence in Pakistan. With campuses across Karachi and a reputation for producing top-tier doctors, nurses, and healthcare administrators, DUHS is where the future of Pakistani healthcare is shaped.
By the way, this isn’t just about teaching. It’s about transformation. The CIMP program—developed with PIOC Institute of Quality—targets one of the most urgent challenges in global health: healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Every year, thousands of patients suffer due to preventable infections in hospitals. DUHS is stepping up. And we need people who aren’t afraid to lead that charge.
The reality is, infection control isn’t glamorous. But it saves lives. And right now, Pakistan needs more professionals who understand outbreak investigations, microbiology basics, and international infection prevention standards. That’s where you come in.
Eligibility Criteria
We’re not looking for paper qualifications alone. We want doers. Here’s who fits:
- For Instructor Roles: MD, MBBS, MSc in Microbiology, Nursing, or Public Health with 3+ years in infection control or clinical practice. Experience in teaching or training preferred.
- For Coordination & Admin Roles: Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management, Education, or related field. 2+ years in academic coordination, program management, or hospital administration.
- For Technical Support: IT or EdTech background with experience in LMS platforms (Moodle, Zoom, Google Classroom). Familiarity with online exam proctoring is a plus.
- Language: Fluency in English (written and spoken). Urdu proficiency required for local coordination.
- Location: Must be based in or willing to travel to Karachi for on-site duties.
Wait, why apply here? Because this isn’t just a job—it’s a movement. You’ll be part of a team that’s setting national standards in infection management education. And yes, we value diversity. Women, early-career professionals, and those from underserved regions are strongly encouraged to apply.
Key Responsibilities
What will you actually do? Let’s be honest—no two days are the same. But here’s the core:
- Deliver high-impact online lectures on infection control fundamentals, HAIs, outbreak investigations, and emerging diseases.
- Develop and update course modules in line with WHO and CDC guidelines.
- Mentor healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, lab techs) through case studies and real-world simulations.
- Coordinate with DUHS faculty and PIOC Institute for seamless program execution.
- Manage student registrations, attendance, assessments, and certification processes.
- Provide technical support for online learning platforms and troubleshoot participant issues.
- Collect feedback and recommend improvements to enhance learning outcomes.
- Represent DUHS at national conferences on infection prevention and healthcare quality.
Here is the catch: This role demands accountability. You’re not just teaching—you’re shaping behaviors that protect patients. One wrong assumption in an outbreak module could have real consequences. So, precision matters. Passion matters. Integrity? Non-negotiable.
Salary & Benefits
We know you’re not doing this for free. Here’s what we offer:
- Salary Range: PKR 80,000 – PKR 150,000/month (Based on role, experience, and qualifications)
- Performance Bonuses: Up to 20% of monthly salary for exceptional delivery and student feedback.
- Professional Development: Sponsorship for international certifications (e.g., CBIC, APIC) and attendance at global infection control conferences.
- Flexible Hours: Especially for part-time instructors—teach on Sundays (2–6 PM PKT) with optional weekday tasks.
- Health Coverage: Full medical insurance for full-time employees and their families.
- Remote Work Options: Up to 70% remote for qualified roles.
- Career Pathway: High performers may be considered for permanent faculty positions or leadership roles in DUHS’s Center for Infection Prevention.
Think you have what it takes? Good. Because the healthcare sector is evolving fast. And infection management? It’s no longer optional. It’s essential.
