Its academic structure includes areas related to engineering, computing, architecture, sciences and emerging technologies.

Applicants should not assume that one computing degree qualifies for every advertised discipline.

Academic opportunities can also arise in architecture, planning and related built-environment disciplines.
Qualifications and professional requirements depend on the advertised position.
Candidates should check whether registration with a relevant professional body is required.
Visiting Faculty
DUET can appoint visiting faculty for particular semesters and subjects.
For example, official recruitment documentation has previously required MS/MPhil or 18 years of education in the relevant field for undergraduate visiting teaching, with preference for candidates having relevant university-level teaching experience.
However, applicants should follow the criteria in the current advertisement because requirements can change.
Non-Teaching Positions
DUET recruitment is not limited to faculty members.
Non-teaching opportunities can arise in areas such as:
- University administration

- Information technology
- Laboratories
- Engineering and technical services

Candidates should always follow the criteria in the current DUET advertisement rather than relying on requirements from an older recruitment.
Experience Requirements
Experience varies according to the position.
Senior academic and administrative appointments can require substantial professional experience, while some entry-level or visiting opportunities may have different requirements.
Applicants should check whether DUET requires:
- Teaching experience
- Research experience
- Post-qualification experience
- Engineering experience
- Administrative experience
- Management experience
- Relevant technical experience
Only experience meeting the advertised conditions should be relied upon when determining eligibility.
Contract and Other Appointments
DUET vacancies may be offered under different employment arrangements.
Previous official recruitment documents show that some teaching and non-teaching positions have been offered on a contract basis, while visiting faculty appointments can be limited to a particular semester.
Candidates should therefore check the appointment type in every advertisement.
A contract or visiting appointment should not automatically be treated as a permanent university position.
