Research Officer Jobs 2026 — Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF)

The Strategic Planning & Implementation Unit, Environment Protection & Climate Change Department, Government of the Punjab, has announced 3 vacancies for the post of Research Officer under the Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF).


With 3 vacancies, this is one of the more accessible entry points into LAIF's research operations for engineers and data professionals early in their careers. The Research Officer role sits downstream of the sensor network — turning the raw readings generated by roadside monitoring stations and PEMS validation exercises into the structured datasets, inventories, and technical documentation that senior analysts and policymakers actually rely on.


Because the position spans both desk-based data organization and field coordination during PEMS validation exercises, it suits candidates who want variety rather than a purely office-bound routine. It's also a strong stepping stone role: the skills built here — structured data handling, QA/QC documentation, and direct exposure to how emissions data eventually informs public policy — translate well into more senior research or data analyst roles, whether within LAIF's own reporting structure or in similar environmental monitoring projects elsewhere in Pakistan.
