Job Summary We have an opening in Fall and Spring semesters of the 2017-18 school year for a part-time graduate student intern in our Golden, Colorado office. The intern will join a team of researchers in NREL’s Strategic Energy Analysis Center ( www.nrel.gov/analysis ) who perform environmental sustainability assessments of energy technologies. The multi-year project the intern will support aims to define quantifiable sustainability metrics for today’s electrical grid (focusing on generators) that can be used to assess current and future environmental and resource sustainability as the grid evolves, and to identify and prioritize new data that can help ensure the grid’s sustainability. The focus of this internship will be on greenhouse gas emissions from sources of electric power that are expected to grow as the grid modernizes such as combustion-based distributed generation technologies (e.g., natural gas and diesel gensets), combined heat and power and biopower sources, and how available datasets of these sources could augment existing federal estimates of electricity-related GHG emissions. There is potential to expand to other sustainability topics such as water use. A strong applicant will have demonstrated skill and experience with identifying under-the-radar data resources and in establishing strong working relationships with external partners.  A strong applicant should have demonstrated knowledge of technologies used to generate electricity, especially small-scale distributed generation sources.  Excellent oral and written communication as well as record keeping will be essential as this project fits into a much larger initiative regarding grid modernization that spans multiple national laboratories and Department of Energy offices. A strong candidate will have proven abilities to develop informative papers and presentations and to manage work to meet deadlines. Creative problem solving and robust analytical skills will also be essential. . Required Education, Experience, and Skills Must be enrolled as a full-time student in a degree granting program, or graduated in the past 12 months from an accredited institution. Internship period cannot exceed 12 months past graduation. Minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Please Note: Before interview selection, you will need to provide unofficial transcripts to verify GPA and full time enrollment. . Preferred Qualifications Preference will be given to candidates working toward their PhD, with consideration towards how the work of this project could contribute toward their dissertation. Candidates with knowledge of state or utility-scale datasets of generation assets beyond those tracked in federal datasets (such as by the Energy Information Administration), or strong familiarity with federal datasets such as EIA Form 923, are preferred. The applicant will ideally have a strong publication record compared to peers at similar levels of education and career experience. The applicant should desire to work independently within a team environment. . Submission Guidelines Please note that in order to be considered an applicant for any position at NREL you must submit an application form for each position for which you believe you are qualified. Applications are not kept on file for future positions. Please include a cover letter and resume with each position application. .

The​ ​Position Stand.earth is seeking a passionate corporate/markets campaigner to hold two rogue industries, fashion and​ ​shipping,​ ​accountable​ ​for​ ​their​ ​climate​ ​emissions.

Shipping is not covered in any international climate agreement and emissions currently account for 5% of global GHG emissions; emissions are predicted to rise to 17% by 2050, making this is a critical sector in the work towards a climate safe future. Our shipping campaign is focused on cruise ships, specifically Carnival​ ​Cruise​ ​Lines.
