About this position
Funded PhD opportunity at Adelaide University on Shaping Markets for Inclusive Green Energy Transitions (project code: SRTSR0094).
The project sits at the intersection of market shaping, sustainability transitions, energy markets, strategy, and marketing. It asks how markets can be shaped so that green energy transitions are not only rapid and durable, but also inclusive. The South Australian context offers a rich empirical setting, with rooftop solar, grid-scale batteries, virtual power plants, distributed energy resources, EVs, household batteries, and ongoing market reform.
Possible research directions include: how South Australia’s energy transition has been shaped over time; emerging market-shaping dynamics around distributed energy, batteries, EVs, and market reform; and energy equity, including the position of renters, apartment dwellers, social housing tenants, and lower-income households.
The project is grounded in market-shaping theory and informed by research on market work and sustainability transitions. It will be a PhD by publications and has strong links to policy and practice, including involvement from the SA Department for Energy and Mining and co-supervision by Gediminas Lipnickas.
Funding: 2027 stipend of AUD $37,800 per year (indexed annually), 3.5 years funding, and a 4-year fee waiver. Open to domestic and international applicants.
Eligibility: Applicants must meet Adelaide University’s competitive scholarship threshold and demonstrate strong academic and/or research credentials.
Deadline: Expressions of Interest close 30 September 2026.
How to apply: Search for SRTSR0094 on the Adelaide University Research Scholarships page and follow the scholarship application instructions.
