Research Assistant

About This Job

Engineering Development Board has invited applications through the National Jobs Portal (NJP) for the post of Research Assistant, advertised on a contract basis at PPS-6. The advertisement lists 6 vacancies for this specific post, and it was posted on the portal on 7 October 2026 with a closing date of 21 Oct 2026. Engineering Development Board operates under the Government of Pakistan, with the Ministry of Industries & Production as its administrative ministry, and the vacancy is part of a wider batch of positions advertised on NJP, the federal government's centralised recruitment platform that now carries openings from ministries, attached departments and public-sector companies alike. Because the role is contract-based rather than a regular civil-service appointment, it will be of particular interest to experienced professionals who want to bring specialist expertise into a federal organisation for a defined engagement rather than a permanent cadre post. Candidates should read the full listing on the portal before applying, since the qualification and experience conditions below are strictly applied at the shortlisting stage and incomplete profiles are unlikely to progress.

On eligibility, the advertisement states the following in substance: the qualification clause reads as follows, 16 years education in Business Administration, Management Sciences, Marketing/PR, Engineering, Economics, or related field, having post qualification experience of more than 2 years experience in the relevant field. EV related experience including battery manufacturing & evaluation will be preferred.. The portal records a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience, and a maximum age of 30 years. The advertisement does not state any gender restriction, domicile requirement, written test or interview schedule, so the post is open to male and female applicants from all provinces, subject to meeting the stated criteria. The remuneration is not quoted in rupees; the post carries the PPS-6 designation on contract terms, and the final package will be settled in line with the organisation's contract policy. Applicants whose degrees or professional certificates were obtained abroad should ensure that they are recognised by the Higher Education Commission or the relevant professional regulator, because verification of documents is a routine part of federal hiring. Candidates are advised to keep scanned copies of their CNIC, academic documents, experience letters and any professional certification ready before they begin the online form, so that the application can be completed in a single sitting without errors.

To apply, visit the National Jobs Portal at njp.gov.pk, log in to or register for a PAK-ID verified account, open the listing for Research Assistant, press the Login to Apply button and complete the online application form before 21 Oct 2026. The advertisement does not mention any application fee, so applicants should not pay money to any third party claiming to speed up selection; all communication about shortlisting will come through the portal or the employer's official channels. Given that the closing date is 21 Oct 2026, interested and qualified candidates should submit their applications early rather than waiting for the last day, when heavy traffic on government portals can cause delays. Keep your NJP profile up to date, double-check every entry against your documents, and save the confirmation of submission for your records. Applications that are incomplete, submitted after the deadline or filed outside the NJP process will not be considered, so follow the steps on the portal carefully and good luck with your application.
