About the Opportunity

Monash University invites applications from outstanding PhD candidates with an interest in artificial intelligence and inclusive energy futures. The successful candidate will join our world-leading Energy Futures team in the Emerging Technologies Lab (ETLab) and FUTURES Hub.

The Project

This PhD project will examine how everyday people will engage with AI to support better energy outcomes. The research will focus on understanding how AI systems can align with diverse people's priorities, values, and routines to support a sustainable energy transition. The project will investigate the potential of AI to provide better value to households through flexible charging, scheduling, or other forms of demand flexibility.

Key Research Questions

  • How might AI systems best support a sustainable energy transition?
  • How can AI systems provide better value to households through flexible charging and scheduling?
  • What ethical and privacy protocols are needed to ensure diverse people trust future AI energy systems?
  • How can AI information provision and energy systems support improved trust in the energy transition?
  • How might participatory and inclusive modes of communication and consumer engagement be built into AI-supported energy systems?

Selection Process

The selection process will involve a two-stage application process. Stage 1 requires applicants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) with a draft research proposal of up to 5 pages responding to one or more of the above research questions. Stage 2 will involve an interview with Professor Sarah Pink to discuss the candidate's ideas and develop a full proposal.
