ORIC Officer

About This Job

Air University has opened a new vacancy for an ORIC Officer at its Karachi Campus, listed on the university's own centralized online jobs portal. ORIC stands for the Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization, a unit found at most HEC-recognized Pakistani universities that supports faculty and student research activity, manages externally funded research projects, coordinates industry-academia linkages, and helps commercialize university research output. An ORIC Officer typically provides day-to-day administrative and coordination support to this office, assisting with grant documentation, research-project record keeping, event coordination for research seminars and workshops, and liaison between the research office and university departments. Air University is one of Pakistan's HEC-recognized private-sector universities with multiple campuses nationwide, including a dedicated Karachi Campus, and it regularly advertises administrative and research-support vacancies of this kind through its own online recruitment system.

The listing is open to both male and female applicants, with no domicile restriction indicated on the public portal listing, and the position remains open for applications until 9 September 2026. See the official Air University jobs portal listing for the exact qualification, experience, and age criteria for this post.

Once logged in, applicants can locate the ORIC Officer vacancy under the Karachi Campus listings, complete the online application form, and upload the required supporting documents, including a copy of their CNIC, academic certificates or degrees, and an updated CV. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview, and any eventual appointment remains subject to submission of HEC-attested terminal-degree or transcript photocopies at the time of joining.
