After the Malaysian 15th general election, due to his loss in Simpang Renggam, Maszlee was without any government and official position. He was later appointed as a Professor at the University of Cyberjaya, to give lectures on selected topics in humanities and education-related subjects at the 'Psychology and Social Sciences Faculty' in April 2023.[12] He was also appointed by the Prime Minister as the chairman of an Islamic think tank called 'International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies' (IAIS), to advise the Prime Minister on Global Muslims Affairs.[13]
