Full-time

NRDC is seeking a Schneider Summer Fellow to work with the Climate & Clean Energy and International teams in our SF office.  This will be a Summer 2019 Internship.

Areas of Responsibility: 

NRDC is seeking a Fellow to work with its team focusing on analysis, report development, and advocacy to enable accelerated deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) across multiple regions including Asia, Latin America, and North America to help meet greenhouse gas (GHG), air quality, and petroleum reduction goals.

  • The fellowship will provide an excellent opportunity to investigate major barriers and potential solutions to EV as well as charging infrastructure deployment. 
  • The fellow will work closely with regional international leads to develop city and state/provincial level plans to support EV-mobility, including but not limited to opportunities to expand the use of private, public, and shared electric vehicle and clean mobility solutions. 
  • The fellow may engage in research and analysis on the following subjects: policies to enable accelerated electricity and renewables deployment; sustainable models for charging infrastructure deployment; and evaluation of benefits related to air pollution, GHG emission reductions, and clean energy jobs.  Work products may include stand-alone documents or memos that will be incorporated into NRDC reports, factsheets, blogs, briefings, and presentations.
  • The Fellow will also likely have the opportunity to engage with other stakeholders and policy-makers.

About Us
Mission: 

The Natural Resources Defense Council's purpose is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends.

We work to restore the integrity of the elements that sustain life -- air, land and water -- and to defend endangered natural places.

We seek to establish sustainability and good stewardship of the Earth as central ethical imperatives of human society. NRDC affirms the integral place of human beings in the environment.

We strive to protect nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations.

We work to foster the fundamental right of all people to have a voice in decisions that affect their environment. We seek to break down the pattern of disproportionate environmental burdens borne by people of color and others who face social or economic inequities. Ultimately, NRDC strives to help create a new way of life for humankind, one that can be sustained indefinitely without fouling or depleting the resources that support all life on Earth.
