CSIRO Energy is playing a key role in Australia’s energy transition. With work spanning from energy efficiency in buildings to the operation of electricity systems, we work across a large range of industries and application domains. Our research includes establishing costs of different technology pathways and modelling different future scenarios - this is often a contentious area and as the Techno-social Economic Lead, you will drive stakeholder discussions and communicate this research.
Your time will primarily be dedicated to communicating the Energy business unit’s (BU) research, listening to stakeholders and connecting the BU to stakeholders interested in more deeply engaging. You will have two important outputs: improving the quality of our communication activities by employing their natural inclination towards outreach; and broadening the audience for CSIRO’s research by focussing their efforts on connecting with different audiences.
We are looking for someone with the intellectual capability to understand our social and economic research and its connections to our more traditional science activities. You will need to have good judgement in being able to communicate contentious issues in a contested space, balancing considerations of the scientific objectivity, the inherent uncertainties in the energy transition and empathy for the audience and their concerns.
Location: Newcastle, NSW preferred. Other locations may be considered.
Salary: AU$136k - AU$150k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
