In some fields, only higher degree holders may be required as candidates. There might be also preferences for certain specializations within those stated as general fields/departments.
We didnot consider those who have varying vertical degrees (we only consider those having same first and second degrees).
The stated numbers for each field may vary (decrease, increase, ignored or remain unchanged) depending on the number of new academic staffs might be assigned by the FMoE, the final number of students to be assigned to the university by the FmoE and/or the number of our academic staff who might leave for their further studies or who might join back finishing their study etc.
The announcement of candidates who will be screened for exams/interviews/seminars is expected to be delayed for some time due to the above listed considerations, and hence candidates need to have the petience & follow up the University website regularly and/or contact the respective departments.
In case large number of candidates might show up (applied) for a vacancy, a cut-point based on a higher CGPA might be considered to make the number of candidates managable (we follow usually five candidates for a single post approach).
For the fields for which no candidate/s might be found or enough candidates could not be obtained, this vacancy may continue at least until the end of the 2009 EC first semester.
