Duration: 20-40 hours a week, typically from early June through August, though Fall internships and longer-term positions will be considered as well. Timing and hours are flexible.
Description: The Energy-Climate Research Intern will work closely with the Institute's energy and climate team on a range of projects. Responsibilities include data collection, fact checking, and analysis for Worldwatch publications and online news services. (For more information, visit http://www.worldwatch.org/.) Outstanding interns will likely have the opportunity to write short pieces for these publications. Interns also occasionally attend briefings in and around Washington and report on these to Worldwatch staff. Special projects may include research assistance for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Renewable Energy and Climate Change Mitigation and preparation for the upcoming international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, including the Institute's Dateline: Copenhagen web page.
Qualifications: Worldwatch seeks an Energy-Climate Research Intern with a strong interest and background in energy and climate change issues. Candidates should have exemplary academic records, solid research and computer skills, excellent writing ability, and strong management and organizational skills. International experience is a plus. The work requires attention to detail and an ability to carefully and accurately document authoritative sources for all information gathered. A curiosity about how the environment relates to social, political and economic realities and a capacity to see connections across fields and specialties are important.
