Ziaududdin Yousafzai will be the head of the education section under the Head of Mission and he has been given the position for three years, which may be extended for a further two years, BBC reported quoting the Pakistan government.
His daughter Malala was treated in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital after being shot in Pakistan's conservative Swat Valley on October 9 last year for advocating girls' education.
The 15-year-old girl was flown to the hospital to receive specialist treatment.
At the time of Malala's shooting, Ziaududdin ran a school in the Swat Valley.
The Taliban said it shot Malala, a campaigner for girls' education, for "promoting secularism".
Doctors said the bullet grazed the teenager's brain when it struck her just above her left eye.
