Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time

Monash University is a leading research institution dedicated to advancing knowledge and innovation in various fields. We are currently seeking an exceptional academic researcher to contribute to our sustainability transitions and technology project.

We invite applications from highly motivated and experienced researchers who have a strong background in system dynamics modelling, sustainability transitions, and/or social science and policy analysis. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team based at Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI).

The PhD opportunity will focus on developing a system dynamics model that incorporates net zero technologies, lifestyle solutions, and social and political drivers and barriers to adoption. This research aims to guide policymakers in designing effective strategies to overcome barriers, build momentum for change, and accelerate the adoption of net zero solutions.

Australia's transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions requires the rapid adoption of new technologies and practices. However, policy support has faced setbacks and delays due to political resistance and low social acceptance. This project will contribute to addressing this crucial gap by supporting the development of a system dynamics model that considers important social and political hurdles and how to overcome them.

The PhD candidate will work under the supervision of senior researchers with expertise in system dynamics modelling and sustainability transitions. They will have access to a range of knowledge sources and methods to develop their skills and expertise.

This PhD opportunity is available to domestic students only. Candidates must meet the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD. The university offers a tax-free stipend, at the current value of $35,013 per annum, as well as a cash contribution towards travel and research costs.

Monash University is a world-leading institute bringing about change through pioneering research, education, and innovation. Our research is evidence-based, interdisciplinary, applied, practical, collaborative, and relevant, delivering impact for policymakers, institutions, and the community.
