JOB DESCRIPTION
Position Title: Research Fellow, Ethanol
Reports to: Madeline Schomburg, Director of Research
Position Status: Temporary, non-exempt
Energy Futures Initiative Foundation (EFIF) Inc. is a nonprofit clean energy think tank dedicated to advancing technically grounded solutions to climate change through evidence-based analysis, thought leadership, and coalition-building. As part of its policy analysis and public education mission, EFIF supports an on-going program of Research Fellows. The purpose of this program is to provide early career clean energy analysts with practical work experience to supplement their academic training. EFIF is currently searching for professional, highly motivated, and detail-oriented Research Fellows to join our research team for fixed-term appointments. This spring program runs from February 1st, 2024 to mid-May, with the possibility of full-time hire afterward.
Research Fellows primarily do research, analysis, writing, data collection, and visualization development for clean energy analytical and policy development projects. The specific nature of the work for Research Fellows varies depending on the project, the level of experience, and will include support for public-policy-focused efforts of the Energy Futures Initiative Foundation and the more traditional consulting relationships for EJM Associates. EJM Associates LLC is a strategic consulting firm that helps clients navigate the transition to a global clean energy economy by advising on a range of energy policy, innovation, and security issues.
At this time, EFIF's preference is for applicants in the D.C. area able to work on a hybrid schedule, but we are open to discussing fully remote fellowships.
Application Instructions
The application period is on a rolling basis but the desired start date for this position is March 1st, 2024.
