[ES_JOBS_NET] Currently Hiring - Director of Research at the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy

[Jennifer Brown]

American University's Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy (ICRLP)
invites applications for a Director of Research. This is a full-time,
non-faculty position devoted to conducting and supervising research on the
social, political, economic, legal, ethical, and/or governance aspects of
carbon removal. The successful candidate will be expected to have their own
well-advanced research agenda that will attract significant external
funding. The position will also supervise other affiliate researchers, and
be responsible for managing and coordinating some of the Institute's
research-based outreach activities.



The Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy is dedicated to advancing
sustainable carbon removal -- carbon removal that is good for the planet
and at the same time good for people. Carbon removal is comprised of a
diverse set of approaches to drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and
storing it for decades, centuries, or longer.  Scientific assessments
suggest that the drawing down of large amounts of atmospheric carbon
dioxide will be needed to prevent the crossing of dangerous climate warming
thresholds. Carbon removal is, in other words, going to be a necessary part
of the world's climate change strategy. At the same time, not all forms of
carbon removal are created equal. The Institute's work starts from the
premise that exactly how carbon removal options are explored, developed,
and deployed will matter a great deal for climate, social, broader
environmental, and political impacts.



The Director of Center Research position is devoted to conducting and
supervising research on the social, political, economic, legal, ethical,
and/or governance aspects of carbon removal. The successful candidate will
be expected to have their own well-advanced research agenda that will
attract significant external funding. The position will also supervise
other affiliate researchers, be expected to contribute to the writing of
grants to fund Institute research and be responsible for managing and
coordinating some of the Institute’s research-based outreach activities.
