^ I have given the website above. Please visit that for further information. The best thing to do would be to call them and speak to them. When vacancies arise, they list them on the website and they’re not hiring right now. But I would still call them and speak to them.

Visit their careers section http://www.pfsa.gop.pk/PFSA Careers.html and have a look at the job descriptions which will give you an idea of what are the requirements for different roles. If you want to be a lab technician in the toxicology & narcotics department, you will need at least a bachelors degree in a science related discipline. http://www.pfsa.gop.pk/Jobs/pdf/Lab Technicians.pdf

Candidates have to go through a written test and only the high scoring ones are called for interviews. http://www.pfsa.gop.pk/Eligible Candidate.html

Thanks for kind reply. You asked me looking for Tech job, No I have truck load of experience in drug testing, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, trace elements and heavy metals in biological samples and solid dosage form. You can see me as follow.I am looking for a senior job in the lab to utilize experience and expertise. I need project director, CM and Dr Ashraf Tahir contacts.
