PRE‑APPLICATION PREPARATION
1. Confirm Eligibility
- Review each vacancy (Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Lecturer) and match your qualifications against the listed requirements.
- For the Associate Professor post you must have either:
a) A Ph.D. plus at least five years of active experience, including three post‑Ph.D. years of teaching/research, or
b) A Ph.D. with a total of eight years of active experience (post‑Ph.D. not required).
- Additionally, you need a minimum of eight indexed journal articles whose combined Thomson‑Reuters impact factor is ≥ 2.0.
- For Assistant Professor, a Ph.D. is acceptable, or a B.Sc. and M.Sc. with a CGPA ≥ 3.5 and at least three years of teaching at the Honors/Post‑Graduate level, plus three research papers.
- For Lecturer, a Bachelor or Master degree in Civil Engineering with CGPA ≥ 3.5 is required.
2. Gather Required Documents
- Updated curriculum vitae (CV) – include personal details, education, professional experience, teaching assignments, research projects, publications (with impact factors), conference presentations, supervision of theses, and any awards.
- Certified copies of academic transcripts and degree certificates.
- Proof of CGPA (official mark sheets).
– If you have a Ph.D., attach the dissertation title, supervising professor(s), and date of award.
– List of publications: separate a table with complete citations, journal name, year, volume, page numbers, and the individual impact factor for each article. Summarise the total impact factor to demonstrate compliance.
– Statement of Teaching Philosophy (1–2 pages) showing your approach to undergraduate and postgraduate instruction, use of technology, assessment methods, and how you will contribute to UIU’s teaching‑learning environment.
– Research Statement (1–2 pages) outlining your current research agenda, past achievements, future plans (including potential collaborations with UIU faculty), and relevance to the Geotechnical or Structural Engineering specialization.
– Copies of any professional licenses or registration (e.g., BCS, professional engineer) if applicable.
– References: at least three academic referees with contact details; ask them to prepare letters of recommendation in advance.
3. Tailor Your Application
- Align your teaching experience with the courses offered by UIU’s Department of Civil Engineering. Mention any curriculum development, lab supervision, or online teaching you have performed.
- Emphasise research that fits the advertised specializations (Geotechnical or Structural). Cite any funded projects, industry partnerships, or field investigations.
- Highlight contributions to community service, professional societies, or editorial duties that demonstrate a commitment to the university’s vision of a “center of excellence.”
4. Prepare the Online Submission
- Register on the UIU career portal (https://www.uiu.ac.bd/career/).
- Fill in the personal and academic fields exactly as they appear on your official documents.
- Upload each required file in PDF format; keep file sizes under the portal’s limits (usually 2 MB per file). Use clear file names such as “Lastname_CV.pdf”, “Lastname_Transcripts.pdf”, “Lastname_TeachingStatement.pdf”, etc.
- Double‑check that all mandatory fields are completed; incomplete applications will be rejected.
- Submit before the deadline of 14 December 2025 (Sunday). Remember that hard‑copy applications will not be accepted.
5. Post‑Submission Checklist
- Save a copy of the confirmation email or screenshot of the submission receipt.
- Notify your referees that UIU may contact them and provide a brief reminder of your application.
INTERVIEW PREPARATION (if shortlisted)
1. Research UIU
- Review UIU’s mission, recent strategic plans, and any news about the Department of Civil Engineering.
- Identify faculty members whose research interests overlap with yours; be ready to discuss potential collaborations.
2. Teaching Demo
- Prepare a 30‑minute lecture on a core topic in Geotechnical or Structural Engineering, using PowerPoint or a whiteboard.
- Include interactive elements (questions, short problem‑solving) to demonstrate student engagement techniques.
3. Research Presentation
- Create a concise (15‑minute) slide deck summarizing your most impactful research, methodology, findings, and future work. Highlight any publications that contributed to the required impact‑factor total.
4. Anticipate Questions
- “How will you develop new courses or revise existing ones?”
- “Describe a challenging teaching experience and how you resolved it.”
- “What is your plan for securing research funding in Bangladesh?”
- “How will you contribute to UIU’s goal of becoming a regional centre of excellence?”
5. Logistics
- Confirm interview date, time, and format (in‑person or virtual).
- If the interview is on campus, familiarize yourself with the United City campus location (Madani Avenue, Badda, Dhaka).
- Dress professionally; a formal business suit is appropriate.
FINAL TIPS
- Ensure every document is free of typographical errors and follows a consistent format (same font, headings, margins).
- Use quantitative metrics where possible (e.g., “supervised 12 MSc theses”, “secured $150,000 research grant”).
- Keep copies of all submitted material for your records.
- If you have any questions about the application process, contact UIU’s HR office at +880 9604‑848‑848 during business hours.
Good luck with your application!
