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).
