About this position
This Research Fellow position at The University of Queensland sits within UQ Business School in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law at the St Lucia campus. The role is part of a research initiative focused on the future of green and sustainable finance across the Asia-Pacific region, with particular attention to transition finance for heavy industry.
The successful researcher will contribute to applied, policy-relevant work on pathways for heavy industry transition, especially the iron and steel sector. The project examines how financing and investment are shaping the shift toward lower-carbon industrial systems, including emerging energy technologies such as hydrogen and ammonia. It also looks at the interplay between carbon pricing, international trade, and policy developments across Australia, China, Korea, Japan, India, and other regional economies.
The position is research-focused and collaborative, with responsibilities spanning quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews, scenario analysis, and publication in peer-reviewed journals. The fellow will also help translate findings into policy notes and briefs for government, industry, and broader audiences, and present work at academic and policy forums. The role is embedded in a multidisciplinary research culture that values researcher development, inclusive teamwork, and engagement with academic, industry, government, and community stakeholders.
Professor Christoph Nedopil is the contact for further information about the opportunity.
