**New PhD Opportunity (Indigenous - Energy)**

We are hiring a PhD candidate (Indigenous) to work with the Monash energy research community on a project to advance First Nations’ peoples interests in the Australian energy transition.

Candidates are invited to propose their own research project, with suggested topics including:
- How to realise energy justice for First Nations communities through different energy systems (e.g. large-scale renewables, diesel genset options and/or community-scale renewable systems), housing types (e.g. community housing) and/or ownership models.
- Exploring the impacts of prepayment meters in remote communities and identifying alternatives
- Investigating the health-related impacts of energy insecurity, through thermally inefficient housing, inconsistent refrigeration, and high occupancy of dwellings.
- Supporting Indigenous people in accessing, operating, maintaining and caring for consumer energy resources (solar and batteries), energy efficient equipment, and/or other local energy solutions. Exploring supply chain and maintenance pathways for remote Australia.
- Bringing Indigenous futures perspectives and knowledge systems into visions and scenarios for the energy transition.
- Mapping/visualising Indigenous knowledge of climate and weather to support energy forecasting and planning

Thanks to Ruby Heard from the First Nations Clean Energy Network for providing input on these suggested topics, and supporting Indigenous research!

This opportunity is supported by a generous Monash Indigenous PhD stipend, a top-up from Monash Information Technology (where the successful applicant will be based), and extra support from Monash Energy Institute .
