About the Scholarship

As part of Swinburne’s exciting Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2) project, we’re looking for a Masters candidate to join the core multidisciplinary research team at VH2. We are seeking people who wish to work at the nexus of humans and technology, and who have the aptitude to undertake solution-focused research as part of a broader multidisciplinary research team.

Led by Swinburne University of Technology, working in partnership with CSIRO and Germany’s ARENA 2036, VH2 will bring together researchers, industry partners and business. Testing, trialing and demonstrating new and emerging hydrogen technologies, the Victorian Hydrogen Hub will support sustainable manufacturing practices and the ability to store clean energy from renewable sources, striving to create a sustainable future for all.

A specific focus of this Masters is on exploring methods of effectively communicating information about hydrogen to the general public. In particular, the project focuses on using experimental social psychology to test the effectiveness of different communication strategies. The project will provide insights into how to most effectively shift public opinion around hydrogen energy.
