I agree with Dr. Mahmood. With HEC scholarship amount for a postdoc, it is difficult to manage expenses, especially if you are going with a family. I would recommend that you should explore opportunities to directly apply for an open postdoc position. In other cases, a PhD student's advisor/supervisor guides the student about suitable research groups to contact for a postdoc.

Currently I am serving as Associate Professor with age of 42. My research interests are ICT in Disaster Management, Wireless Communication and Signal & Image Processing. I know HEC policy for PostDoc Scholarship that requires letter of invitation from targetted university's professor. That is somehow hard condition for a Pakistani. If that letter is received, then usually there is no need to get scholarship from HEC and the candidate normally can avail scholarship from targetted university.
