Academic positions at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University via the Qudrat platform
Announcement of new academic positions at Imam University
Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University, through its General Directorate of Human Resources, has announced a number of vacant academic positions across several of its key colleges. The university clarified that these positions will be filled through a "transfer of services" system, aiming to attract qualified Saudi nationals from the public sector, in line with the university's actual needs. Applications are being accepted electronically through the unified national employment platform, "Qudrat," reflecting the university's commitment to digital transformation and streamlining the application process.
General context and importance of the initiative
Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University is one of the oldest educational institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having been founded in 1974. It has a long history of serving Islamic studies and the Arabic language. Over time, the university has expanded to include modern scientific and applied disciplines in response to the demands of national development and the Kingdom's Vision 2030. This announcement comes as part of the university's ongoing efforts to strengthen its faculty with distinguished personnel capable of advancing scientific research and innovation, and raising the quality of educational outcomes.
Relying on the “Qudrat” platform and the “Transfer of Services” system is not merely an administrative procedure, but rather part of a larger national strategy aimed at optimizing the utilization of human capital within the government apparatus. The Transfer of Services system allows government employees to move between different entities, thereby enhancing the exchange of expertise and contributing to integration among state institutions, which is particularly beneficial for the development of the higher education sector.
Expected impact and its national dimensions
Locally, this announcement is expected to help fill academic vacancies in critical and specialized fields, positively impacting the quality of programs offered to students. It also enhances the university's national competitiveness and makes it an attractive destination for academic talent. This step aligns with the Human Capital Development Program, a key component of Vision 2030, which aims to cultivate globally competitive citizens through the development of the education and training system.
Regionally and internationally, attracting distinguished academic talent raises the university's ranking and enhances its reputation as a leading research and educational center in the region. This, in turn, opens up broader horizons for international partnerships and research collaborations, attracts more international students, and supports the Kingdom's goals of becoming a hub for knowledge and education in the Middle East.
Application details and available colleges
The university clarified that the available positions span a variety of colleges to meet the needs of the job market, most notably: the College of Computer and Information Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Engineering, the College of Medicine, the College of Social Sciences, the College of Science, and the College of Nursing. This diversity reflects the university's commitment to achieving a balance between theoretical and applied disciplines.
The university has set the application period to begin on Thursday, May 7, 2026, and continue until the end of the workday on Thursday, May 21, 2026. The General Directorate of Human Resources invites all those interested in applying to visit the “Qudrat” platform to review all details and requirements related to each position and to ensure they meet the requirements before completing the registration process.
