Transforming the Net Zero Landscape

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated PhD scholar to join our team at Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI) and contribute to a groundbreaking research project on modelling the social and political drivers of net zero transitions.

About the Project

The rapid adoption of new technologies and practices is crucial for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions. However, policy support has faced setbacks and delays in Australia due to political resistance and low social acceptance. Our project aims to address this critical gap by developing a system dynamics model that incorporates various net zero technologies and lifestyle solutions along with social and political drivers and barriers to adoption.

Opportunity and Supervisory Team

This PhD opportunity is based at Monash University and will support a research project funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC). The successful candidate will be supervised by experienced researchers from Monash University and CSIRO, providing a unique opportunity to gain expertise in system dynamics modelling and sustainability transitions research.

Requirements and Benefits
  • A background in science, engineering, or social science and policy analysis is desirable.
  • Experience with systems modelling and/or research on sustainability transitions and transformations will be highly regarded.
  • A strong communication skillset and ability to work independently and as part of a team are essential.

The successful candidate will receive a tax-free stipend of $35,013 per annum, as per the Monash Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend. Monash University will also provide a cash contribution towards travel and research costs.

Eligibility and Application Process

This opportunity is available to domestic students only. Candidates must meet the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD. To apply, please submit your application through the provided link, including a cover letter, CV, and academic transcript(s).
