At UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.


The recently established UNSW Institute for Climate Risk and Response (ICRR) brings together expertise from across the Faculties of Science, Business and Law and Justice.

In partnership with industry, it will drive an innovative research agenda, and be a focus of debate on the risks and opportunities of our changing climate.

As a leading voice in climate risk and response both nationally and in the Asia-Pacific it will inform end-users' risk management frameworks and allow robust planning regarding the impacts of climate change for business, government and policy makers.


The Institute is seeking
three Research Associates to be part of the founding team of this exciting new interdisciplinary endeavour.

The ICRR will focus initially on three priority areas:

  • effective communication and translation of climate science to inform decision-making and policy development,
- establishing effective climate risk management frameworks to address the social, environmental, governance and economic impacts of climate change,
- linking improved representations of human behaviour with climate models to enhance projections, facilitate understanding and promote behavioural change.


The Research Associate will be integral to the development of the Institute and will also play a key role in both becoming and helping to mentor the next generation of climate leaders through research-student supervision and capacity building in the broader community.
