About this position
RMIT University is offering a PhD scholarship focused on advancing supply chain sustainability through improved quantification and reduction of Scope 3 emissions. These emissions often represent the largest component of an organisation’s carbon footprint, yet spend-based estimates can fail to reflect actual supply-chain activity and supplier surveys can impose substantial administrative burdens.
The doctoral researcher will develop robust, auditable, and transferable approaches for quantifying supply chain emissions and investigate how improved data can inform operational and contract-management decisions that lead to real emissions reductions. RMIT Property Services will serve as a live case study, allowing the research to be developed and tested within a complex operating environment. The intended outputs are designed to be useful beyond the University and relevant to organisations seeking more credible carbon accounting and sustainability practices.
The project offers scope to shape the research around the candidate’s disciplinary strengths. The supervisory team includes Vanessa Cooper, Dr Tehmina Khan, Gary Rosengarten, and Professor Usha Iyer-Raniga, with regular collaboration involving Nick Huntington and colleagues in RMIT’s Property Services Group. The researcher will work alongside sustainability and procurement professionals and have the opportunity to pilot research outputs in practice.
