The Opportunity
We are seeking a Research Fellow to work in a research-intensive position on an Australian Research Council project on global climate and energy governance. The Research Fellow will be a leading member of a research team investigating the governance of international public finance for energy projects. Research questions will include how public financing bodies, such as export credit agencies, shape the energy sector, how such bodies assess energy projects, and what global mechanisms can be used to govern them. The Candidate will work closely with Associate Professor Christian Downie as part of the research team. The candidate will join a small, collegial and passionate team of interdisciplinary researchers, PhD students and visiting fellows.
Funding for this position is contingent on external sources, and is confirmed until 29 November 2025, with a possible extension to November 2026 pending negotiations.

You will have a record of independent research and a demonstrated ability to communicate your research clearly and effectively to diverse stakeholders. To excel in this role, you will also have a strong understanding of global climate and energy politics and a strong record of qualitative and or quantitative research.
