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, giving interested candidates roughly two weeks from the date this listing was checked to apply. Air University's job portal currently gates its individual job-detail pages behind an active login session, so an anonymous visit to the full listing redirects to a logout page rather than displaying the complete job description; as a result, the exact HEC-recognized qualification, specific years of experience, and numeric age bracket published in the official advertisement could not be independently verified for this specific posting during this check. The qualification and experience summarized here therefore reflect the general expectations typically associated with an ORIC Officer role at a Pakistani university - commonly a relevant Master's degree along with some background in research administration, grants coordination, or related university support functions - rather than text copied directly from the advertisement itself, and this distinction is flagged so that applicants confirm the precise published criteria after logging into the portal.

Candidates wishing to apply should visit the Air University Job Portal at portals.au.edu.pk/jobs, and if they do not already hold an account, register one by providing their name, email address, password, and CNIC or passport number, then verify the email and log in. 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. All applications must reach the university through the portal on or before 9 September 2026; candidates with questions about the recruitment process can contact Air University's HR department directly at hrm@au.edu.pk.
