Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan Lahore Universityof Management Sciences Full time

Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB), LUMS

The Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) invites applications for part-time Research Associate (RA) positions in the area of Sustainability Studies.

The candidate will join the research team led by Dr Zehra Waheed, working on her funded project:

"Energy Transitions as a Human Challenge: A Phenomenological Inquiry into Pakistan's Sustainability Shift."

This project argues that Pakistan's energy transition cannot be effectively studied-or implemented-without understanding the sense-making processes of those shaping and experiencing it. Grounded in Frank Geels' Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) (Geels, 2004; 2024), the research explores how actors across different levels-government officials, private sector participants, and grassroots players-interpret and respond to ongoing sustainability transitions. Given the contested, multi-actor, and deeply political nature of such transitions, the project aims to bridge the gap between high-level policy discourse and the everyday struggles of transition on the ground (Cherp et al., 2021).

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct fieldwork in Lahore and nearby cities
  • Cultivate and maintain relationships with key informants, gateway contacts, and local stakeholders
  • Refine and document interview protocols
  • Recruit and conduct interviews with participants
  • Collect and organize primary and secondary data, including case study materials
  • Attend relevant public meetings and assemblies-
  • Record and manage field notes, photographs, and project metadata
  • Organize and archive project data, consent forms, and ethics documentation
  • Participate in weekly team meetings and collaborative discussions

Required Qualifications

  • Some prior experience with qualitative fieldwork
  • Demonstrated interest in energy transitions, sustainability, or related topics
  • Strong language skills in Urdu, Punjabi, and English
  • Excellent listening, interpersonal, and record-keeping skills
  • Ability to travel within and (at times) between cities, as required
  • A self-motivated, reflexive learner comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders
  • Commitment to combining empirical fieldwork with theoretical insight

Terms of Appointment

  • Duration: September December month, fixed-term appointments
  • Contract Nature: Part Time
  • Location: LUMS Campus, DHA, Lahore (with local travel)

Please apply by 17 August 2025. Interviews will be conducted thereafter.
