Prof Dr Sitesh Chandra Bachar, the dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Dhaka University, has been appointed as a new pro-vice chancellor (education) of the institution.
Dr Bachar will hold the post for four years. His appointment came following approval by the president, the chancellor of the university, says notice issued on Thursday.
The notice says the president and chancellor can cancel the appointment at any time if he deems it appropriate.
Prof Dr ASM Maksud Kamal previously held the post. However, it fell vacant after he assumed the office of vice chancellor in November last year.
