About the employer
KFUPM is a public university in Dhahran on Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province coast. Its adverts say English is the medium of instruction, and the campus lists facilities including a medical and dental clinic, a library, research and teaching laboratories and a recreation centre. Faculty and teaching roles are filled through the university’s own applicant portal, which is the only place to apply.
Tips before you apply
- Match the advert’s wording. Mirror the subject areas the advert lists in your cover letter, and say plainly which one you fit.
- Get documents in order first. Scan transcripts and certificates into single combined files, as portals of this kind often ask for one upload per document type.
- Check your referees. Tell the people you name that the employer may contact them, and confirm their current email addresses.
- Keep records. Save the advert text and your submission confirmation, because postings without a closing date can be removed once filled.
