There is an opening at the research fellow level to ensure the timely delivery of research and policy recommendations with national, regional and/or international clients. The focus is on the energy supply security in the context of the global low carbon energy transition.

- Nuclear energy governance and policies
- Renewable energy deployment policies and potential
- Energy supply chain and energy supply security
- Desktop research based on primary and secondary sources
- Much of the research reviewed and undertaken will be qualitative in nature, however there may be opportunities for more quantitative aspects to feature within some elements of the work
- Engagement with local stakeholders from various sectors to exchange views and gain insights. This is a continuous and ad hoc process that will take place across the full project timeline for all work packages
Job Requirements
- A PhD degree in the fields of international relations/politics, law, public policy, political economy, energy science, environmental management, or other related disciplines
- Relevant work experience of minimum 2 years, at least partly in academia, consulting or in policy review and formulation
