NIH Islamabad Jobs 2026: The National Institute of Health (NIH), Islamabad, has announced three regular posts under the Balochistan Initiative: one Assistant Scientific Officer, one Junior Technician and one Assistant. All three posts are reserved for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile, and all three close on 16 November 2026. Applications are online only, through the National Job Portal, on the Balochistan-tab listings for this advertisement.
NIH is Pakistan’s national public health institute. Its laboratories test, research and monitor disease, its technical staff keep those laboratories running, and its assistants keep the administration behind the science in order. This small recruitment covers all three layers at once: a scientific officer who works on microbiology, biochemistry, biotechnology or pharmacy science, a junior technician trained in medical laboratory technology, and an assistant who handles office work with an IT qualification. For Balochistan-domicile candidates with science and laboratory qualifications, these three posts offer regular federal health employment in Islamabad and Quetta through a single, short NJP window.
Last Date to Apply: 16 November 2026
