Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Sustainability Practices

3 days ago


Canberra, ACT, Australia International Society for Industrial Ecology Full time

At the International Society for Industrial Ecology, we are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to our mission of promoting sustainable practices in regional economies.

About the Role

This CERC Fellowship is designed to address the research gap in localized and regional insights for Australia's push towards a circular economy. The successful candidate will develop comprehensive material flow analyses and policy frameworks tailored to the diverse needs of local and state governments, ensuring effective sustainability practices.

The key responsibilities of this role include gathering quantitative material flow data to craft circular economy solutions, reducing virgin material extraction, and limiting environmental pressure. This project will involve conducting case studies at state and local government levels, consulting with stakeholders, policymakers, industry partners, and relevant researchers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assess policy and data gaps complemented by semi-structured interviews with policymakers at various levels (federal, state, local) to evaluate data and information needs for circular economy policies.
  • Research the existing state and collect data on resource extraction, use, and waste generation at the subnational level.
  • FIlldata gaps using established methodologies (e.g., environmentally-extended input-output analysis, material flow analysis) or develop new ones.
  • Create a balanced material flow account from the above.
  • Leverage insights from the material flow account to identify opportunities to promote the circular economy across various levels of Government.

What We Offer

A competitive salary package and up to 15.4% superannuation, plus a specified term of 3 years. If you're passionate about making a difference in the field of industrial ecology, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
