Re: Lecturership in Pakistan
lbg, another avenue (which is actually more lucrative) is to go thru HEC (higher education commission). As you might have heard, they are working on a very aggressive campaign to hire foreign faculty with decent salaries (100,000 to 300,000 rupees per month). However, that assumes that you have some teaching experience already at a foreign college or university. In your case, it means that after you are done with your masters, you should start teaching at a british college first, and then apply thru HEC. The advantage is that you deal only with one entity (HEC) and then no matter which university you are placed at (whether small or large) your pay could still be in excess of 100,000. Beware of the fact that HEC advertises a Phd requirement, but after contacting them personally, I found they were very accomodating even with a Masters. The only issue with Masters is that you will be on the lower end of the 100,000 - 300,000 salary range.
I agree with Ruiner and Umar that most univ. are pleasently very quick and accomodating, and even offers could be made via email. However, nothing beats an in-person meeting, even if its just a casual visit rather than an interview. So do that first, and then inshallah with other conditions met, you will also be receiving offers in the email as well.
