Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Building Trust for a Just and Effective Net Zero Transition

We are looking to hire a postdoctoral fellow to support a two-year, multi-region, mixed-method study focused on the role of trust in Australia’s decarbonisation efforts. This role involves both qualitative and quantitative research and supports the co-development of practical trust-building frameworks and tools across stakeholders. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to just climate transitions by informing policy and practice through applied, socially engaged research. This project will be conducted within the wider Net Zero Australia project, a collaboration between University of Queensland, University of Melbourne, and Princeton University.

Please get in touch with Matthew Hornsey () if you have questions.
