About the University of Karachi
Basic information and contact details for the University of Karachi
The University of Karachi, based in Pakistan, was established through parliament as a federal university back in 1951. When Pakistan became a sovereign state in 1947, opportunities for higher education and research were negligible, and the university was created in response to the impending need.
It initially began teaching with just two faculties – the arts and science – and just 50 students. The university, spread over 1,200 acres of land, is now vast with over 50 departments and 20 research centres and is now the biggest university in the country.
It is particularly well-known for teaching and research within science and technology, medical research, and social science fields.
Situated 12 km away from the city centre of Karachi, the university is in a perfect place for students who want to explore its unique blend of Middle Eastern, Central Asian, South Asian and Western influences.
The university library is one of the largest in the country with a collection of over 360,000 books, and over 110,000 copies of national and foreign journals and periodicals. There is also a section where students can enjoy copies of rare manuscripts from the British museum, the India Office Library and the Bodleian and Cambridge University libraries.
Through the Bureau of Composition, Compilation and Translation (BCC&T), the university publishes books, texts, periodicals, and other academic materials in-house.
Notable alumni include Pirzada Qasim Raza Siddiqui, a noted Pakistani scholar and Urdu poet, scientist and educator, Abdul Qadeer Khan, a Pakistani nuclear physicist and a metallurgical engineer, and Waheed Murad, a former Pakistani film actor, producer and scriptwriter.

Research Fellow in Hyperuniform Disordered Materials
University of Southampton
United Kingdom, Southampton
University of Southampton
United Kingdom, Southampton
You will join our team at the Optoelectronics Research Centre and work on the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded project HyMeta: Hyperuniform Disordered Metasurfaces for Selective Absorbers. Your primary role will be to undertake theoretical and computational research on hyperuniform disordered photonic materials for frequency-selective solar-thermal absorbers based on metal–dielectric–metal resonator platforms. The project develops hyperuniform disordered metasurfaces, a novel class of photonic structures in which structural correlations are precisely controlled to achieve selective absorption of solar radiation and suppression of thermal emission, enabling highly efficient solar-thermal materials. Your work will focus on the development of theoretical and computational models for light–matter interaction in hyperuniform disordered plasmonic structures, including electromagnetic modelling, optimisation of metal–dielectric–metal resonators, and physics-informed machine-learning approaches for inverse design of frequency-selective metasurfaces. You will also work closely with academic collaborators and industrial partners, contributing to joint research activities and scientific publications. The position is fixed term until 31st August 2027, with a nominal start date of 15th May 2026. To be successful you will hold a PhD* degree (either awarded or nearing completion) or equivalent experience in fields related to the project. You should have substantial practical knowledge and experience in the following areas: nanophotonics disordered photonic materials electromagnetism in structured media computational electromagnetic modelling Strong computational skills and experience with electromagnetic modelling methods including FDTD, FEM, and RCWA are essential as well as experience in developing bespoke electromagnetic simulation software and/or using commercial software including COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys Lumerical using high-performance computing resources. Experience with machine-learning techniques and previous collaboration with experimental groups or industrial partners would also be advantageous. You should be able to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team including theoretical, computational, experimental, and industrial researchers. For an informal discussion about the position, please contact Prof Marian Florescu (m.florescu@soton.ac.uk).
