riazuddin had joined punjab university ini 1959 as an associate professor of mathematics. four years later, he travelled to the united states for a fellowship awarded by norman march and michael duff. he became a research associate professor at the university of rochester where he stayed until 1965. the same year, he joined the university of pennsylvania where he taught physics until 1966. later, he went to chicago, illinois where he joined his brother fayyazuddin, and theoretical physicists faheem hussain and peter rottoli. riazuddin joined university of chicago's enrico fermi institute where they created the "relativity group". in 1968, riazuddin returned to pakistan on the request of salam, and joined quaid-i-azam university's institute of physics. he was the founding director of the institute of physics (ip) where he engaged in research on string theory, the theory of relativity, particle physics and nuclear physics. later, the scientists of the relativity group at the enrico fermi institute returned to pakistan on the request of salam. in 1970, he returned to the united states where he became professor of mathematics at the university of maryland. riazuddin left the united states for italy as he was asked by salam to join the international centre for theoretical physics in 1970. he was joined by other students of salam where they created a theoretical physics group at the ictp. in 1971, riazuddin traveled to the united kingdom to join the daresbury nuclear physics laboratory where he was joined by michael duff. at daresbury, he became senior research associate. there, riazuddin gained expertise and specialised in nuclear physics. at daresbury, he trained british scientists in the field of nuclear physics.
