FAQs for faculty and researcher positions

If an applicant has been short-listed for an interview, he/she is normally contacted as soon as an interview schedule has been arranged.  Interviews are usually scheduled several months ahead of a September start date to allow for other recruitment steps.

The applicant is usually notified of KFUPM’s decision within two months from the date of his/her interview.  The process may take longer in certain cases.

Following the interview, the applicant usually receives a formal job offer (by e-mail and/or by mail) once his/her appointment is approved by H.E., the Rector of KFUPM.  The offer briefly outlines the terms and conditions of employment (salary and other employment benefits).

Normally, a newly appointed faculty member at KFUPM is expected to join at the beginning of the first semester (in September) or the beginning of the second semester (in January/February), according to the academic calendar.

Standard contracts for regular faculty members are usually for two years starting the 1st of September.
