-------------------------------------- The Duke University Climate Change Policy Partnership has two full- time Policy Analyst positions available. The CCPP is a collaborative effort of the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, the Center on Global Change, and the Nicholas School of the Environment. Please see http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/institute/ccpp/ for more information. 1. Engineer/Climate Policy Analyst This position supports the Duke University Climate Change Policy Partnership (CCPP) by analyzing long-term technology trends within a climate change policy context and developing policy proposals related to technology. The Engineer will evaluate energy reduction and GHG mitigation opportunities within major U.S. and international industrial sectors, including electricity generation, energy production, metals, cement, and chemicals. Some specific areas of investigation may include renewable energy, nuclear energy (including fuel production and waste disposal), fossil fuel extraction, advanced coal, carbon capture and storage, biofuels, and energy-intensive industrial processes. Qualifications: Applicants must have a BS in engineering and at least four years relevant experience or an MS in engineering with two years relevant experience. An MA related to policy is highly desirable. Familiarity with climate policy, technology policy, and experience in project management are also desirable. Additional desirable qualifications: 1. Knowledge of scientific and engineering theories, concepts, and practices related to fossil and other energy systems. 2. Ability to assess the impacts of policy on energy technologies and systems. 3. Ability to analyze and recommend mitigation strategies and related policies. 4. Ability to perform a technology risk analysis in the context of carbon markets, liability concerns, and international policies/frameworks. 5. Ability to communicate, both orally and in writing, complex technical problems and issues. To apply: Send cover letter and resume (electronic preferred) to Hallie Knuffman, CCPP Coordinator; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; tel: 919-613-8748; fax: 919-681-7176 -------------------------------------- 2. Geological Sequestration Policy Analyst The Duke University Climate Change Policy Partnership (CCPP) is seeking an analyst with expertise in geological sequestration to conduct a comprehensive study of a national CO2 pipeline and storage system, including technical feasibility, expected cost, environmental implications, and social, political, and regulatory barriers. The analyst is expected to translate findings into appropriate policy proposals that can complement national climate change legislation. For qualifications and application instructions, please see Qualifications: Applicants must have either: 1) an MS in geology, engineering or other relevant technical discipline and experience (or degree) in policy or 2) an MA in policy with a BA in geology, engineering or other relevant technical discipline. Must have prior experience analyzing geological sequestration and carbon capture and storage technology. Familiarity with climate policy, technology policy, and experience in project management are also required. Additional desirable qualifications: 1. Knowledge of scientific and engineering theories, concepts, and practices related to fossil and other energy systems. 2. Ability to assess the impacts of policy on energy technologies and systems. 3. Ability to analyze and recommend mitigation strategies and related policies. 4.
