Do you want to create a world that runs on renewables? The Sunrise Project supports networks of organisations to work together to achieve outcomes that would not be possible by individual organisations acting alone.
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 Australian fossil fuel sector is vast. Australia is the world’s second-largest exporter of coal and liquid natural gas (LNG), and coal power is still the largest source of domestic electricity generation. An urgent shift away from fossil fuels is required to limit future global warming. The Research Lead - Fossil Fuels will enable Sunrise Project to achieve its mission by deeply understanding the Australian fossil fuel sector: understanding its current activities, future plans, drivers and enablers.
A typical day would see you undertaking a mixture of self-directed research and working in project teams: collaborating with strategists and communications experts.
You thrive on following a trail and extracting as much information and interpreting it into meaningful, insightful and digestible research. Previous experience conducting investigative 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
