As the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions increases and the related landscape of regulation and emission reduction goals becomes ever more complex, The Sunrise Project is seeking to boost its capacity to navigate this space.
Do you want to help them create a world that runs on renewables? Motivated by their passion to solve the climate crisis, this team of experienced change-makers share a mission to build social movements. You can be part of it. Join them as they support networks of organisations in Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia to achieve global change for climate action.
Not only will you feed your passion to save the planet, you’ll also receive all these awesome benefits:
The Research Lead - Climate and Emissions will remain oriented to the latest developments in the detection, regulation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions including CO2 and methane. You will navigate complex and technical areas of GHG accounting and regulation, sift net-zero targets separating the meaningful from greenwash, and analyse complicated and potentially fraught issues such as offsets and CCS.
Using your insights and analysis, you will support The Sunrise Project’s strategists and partners, ensuring their strategies are both ambitious and focused on achieving their shared goal - meaningful action towards actual zero emissions across the economy.
You thrive on following a trail and extracting as much information and interpreting it into meaningful, insightful and digestible research. Previous experience in science communications, policy development or conducting research in journalistic, political or advocacy contexts would serve as a helpful background for this role.
Equally you are passionate about positively contributing to combatting the climate emergency facing our planet and have a demonstrated commitment to action on climate change.
If your relevant experience is from volunteering, from the grassroots or is lived experience and you meet some but not all the criteria for this position, but you’re keen on the role and believe in the cause, please get in touch.
The Sunrise Project has a dynamic and nimble organisational culture. They are serious about supporting their people to thrive as they tackle the urgent climate challenge. They believe that a diversity of experiences and perspectives will help them build stronger strategies, teams and movements. They take the broadest possible view of diversity and encourage First Nations people, people of colour, people living outside of cities, people living with disabilities, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ people to apply. They are continually working on becoming a better workplace for everyone.
ONLY AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED WORKING RIGHTS WILL BE CONSIDERED
