Our Clean Energy Advocacy Internships offer a chance for 2-3 students interested in future careers in clean energy advocacy to spend the summer with us at our Institute for Energy and the Environment and to work on one of our research or energy clinic teams which are each made up of 3-5 Master of Energy Regulation and Law grad students or JD students specializing in energy law with faculty supervision. Our teams are currently working on issues ranging from advancing community solar for underserved communities, affordable net zero housing development, sustainable solar siting on agricultural lands and exploring energy and environmental policy issues around biodigesters for our new Farm and Energy Initiative.
The internship begins the day after Memorial day and ends Friday, July 31st (we have some flexibility in start/stop dates) which is the same as our summer environmental program.
