Several openings are available in academic departments of KFUPM for Star Faculty positions (http://www.kfupm.edu.sa). Both, distinguished established faculty (Professors/Associate Professors/Assistant Professors) and recent graduates from highly ranked reputable universities with exceptional research profile in terms of number of publications (in Q1/Q2 journals), number of citations and relatively a high h-index are encouraged to apply.


In an exciting and dynamic environment, distinguished faculty enjoy excellent research and teaching facilities and opportunities to affiliate and collaborate with funded Interdisciplinary Research Centers, and participate in grand research challenges, under the office of Vice President for Research & Innovation.
