Kendall Fellowship: EV Battery Recycling and Reuse Clean Vehicles Program Union of Concerned Scientists Oakland, CA Office preferred https://union-of-concerned-scientists.workable.com/j/B9C4B88CD2 While life cycle emissions of electric vehicles are far lower than those of gas-powered cars, there’s room for these vehicles to be more sustainable to produce, charge, and drive. The United States recently hit a milestone–1 million electric vehicles sold—yet the fate of the batteries in these cars when they are at the end of their life is yet to be determined. The Union of Concerned Scientists seeks a Kendall Fellow to study the recycling and reuse of batteries from electric vehicles, with a focus on improving their sustainability, and an eye on policy implications for the work. UCS Kendall Fellows are accepted via a competitive screening process to propose and execute forward-looking, innovative two-year projects, working with our scientists in our offices.

How can we capitalize on the energy and momentum to sustain this movement? We seek a Kendall Fellow with research experience studying social movements to help us understand and leverage the mechanisms that enable collective and individual advocacy in the science community, for an enduring effort.
