KMU Jobs 2026 have been announced by the Khyber Medical University, Peshawar — and this round is a little different from the usual teaching and clinical postings. The university’s Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) is hiring 18 people on contract for a donor-funded project: a Call Centre Supervisor, a Data Specialist, eight Phone Agents, and eight Enumerators spread across four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The advertisement (Adv #70/2026) was published on 8 October 2026, and the last date to apply is 22 October 2026.
If your background is in public health, social sciences, data, statistics, or field surveys — or you’re a graduate with good Pashto and English — this is worth a serious look. All 18 posts are open to male and female candidates, and the application process is refreshingly simple: one email with your CV. Below is everything the KMU Jobs 2026 official advertisement says, exactly as announced.
