This is a 3-month Fellowship open to Stanford students only.
NRDC is seeking a Fellow to work with its climate and international teams focusing on analysis, report development, and advocacy, to pursue NRDC’s strategic priority areas of climate change, health & cities, and international climate policy. The Fellowship project is part of the International Program and works with experts both internally and externally with expertise in climate change, health, energy efficiency, climate finance and air pollution. The Fellowship will provide an excellent opportunity to investigate major barriers and potential solutions to air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) and petroleum reduction goals. The Fellowship includes analysis of India’s renewable market, energy efficiency, climate adaption focused on heat stress, air pollution, and implementing the Paris Climate Agreement. Work products may include stand-alone documents or memos that will be incorporated into NRDC reports, factsheets, blogs, briefings, and presentations. The Fellow will have the opportunity to engage with other stakeholders and policy-makers.
Students who have already received a three-month Schneider fellowship are eligible for the one-year NRDC fellowships only. Fellows commit to working 12 weeks or one year at their NGOs. Generally, fellowships begin in June, but the start date is often flexible, to be agreed upon by the Fellow and the NGO. The NGOs will receive and screen candidate applications. There are no limits to the number of fellowships to which applicants may apply.
