Position Summary

Energy and Climate Center. The EASE Fellow will be jointly supported by the
Center and Earthjustice and will work part time in the Center while working
towards an LLM in Environmental Law.

About the Pace Energy and Climate Center
More than a think tank, the Pace Energy and Climate Center turns ideas into
action. We believe thoughtful engagement of government and key stakeholders
leads to better public policy. We conduct research and analysis on legal,
regulatory and policy matters because thorough, objective analyses are
essential to finding solutions to today's complex energy and climate change
challenges. We bring decision makers and stakeholders together because
achieving results often entails learning together and finding common ground.
We are lawyers, economists, scientists and energy analysts, committed to
achieving real-world progress. Visit energy.pace.edu to learn more.

The Pace Energy and Climate Center's EASE Program is focused on ensuring
that low- to moderate-income (LMI), environmental justice, and underserved
communities have access to, and enjoy the benefits of, the new rate designs,
clean energy programs and technologies, and renewable energy offerings
becoming available through state electric utility reform proceedings,
especially New York's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV). The EASE Fellow
will be the Center's primary point-person in these efforts.

Compensation:

Full-tuition waiver for LL.M degree while employed along with a modest
stipend.

Pace is committed to achieving completely equal opportunity in all aspects
of University life. Applications are encouraged from people of color,
