Where the Jobs Are Based
Most of the Scientific Advisory and Policy Wing roles are in Islamabad, while the Operations Wing is centred on Karachi. Multan and Gilgit-Baltistan each have an Assistant Director post. The two Inspector positions are listed for different stations across Pakistan, so candidates should be prepared for posting outside their home city.

What the Advertisement Does Not Tell You
Candidates should be aware of a few gaps. The advertisement does not list degrees, experience requirements, age limits, salaries or the number of seats per post, because these are in the online job descriptions. It also sets the deadline as 15 days after the date of advertisement without printing that date, so check the date on the newspaper in which the notice appeared and count from there. We recommend applying as soon as possible rather than waiting.
Terms Stated in the Advertisement
- NAFSA is an equal opportunity employer. Women are encouraged to apply, and persons with special needs are persuaded to apply.

- Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
- All candidates are treated strictly on merit.

A Few Tips Before You Apply
Terms such as ITC, SRD, SDC and MAIC are used in the post titles without explanation in the advertisement. Open the job description to see what each role involves before you choose. Prepare a clean CV and keep your degrees and experience letters ready for the online form.
Because only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, make sure your phone number and email are correct and check them often. Do not pay anyone who claims they can get you shortlisted. Scan only the QR code from the official advertisement, since links shared on social media may not be genuine.
