The Earth System and Climate Centre is a foundation dedicated to making meaningful impact on environmental and climate-related issues. We focus on the impacts on people by conducting citizen science research, public outreach and advocacy, and supporting early career scientists and volunteers.

We are seeking to assemble a small team of policy analysts to conduct an assessment of Australia’s current policy related to climate change, the green energy transition, and the environment; and assess whether we are on track to meet our climate and environmental commitments. The policy analyst role will conduct literature and research review on a particular topic and assemble their work as a chapter as part of a larger report that the team will work on. This is a fully remote role ideal for someone passionate about the environment, with a background in policy, research, or recently graduated or currently undertaking university studies. This is a volunteer role with no benefits other than fully remote work and flexible working hours. we expect 7.5 to 15 hours commitment per week between December 2024 and February 2025. If you are passionate about the environment and climate and conducting policy and research analysis we would love to hear from you. Please send your resume and a brief cover letter detailing your interest and relevant experience to admin@earths.com.au or apply through Seek. Applications close 22 November for a preferred start date of 2 December.
