Project Manager
Project on Energy Research, Development, and Deployment
The Project Manager will be responsible for all aspects of a three-year,
grant-funded Project on Energy Research, Development, and Deployment
(ERD&D). The Project Manager will report to the Director of the Energy
Technology Innovation Policy research group, within Harvard University's
Kennedy School of Government. Responsibilities will include conducting
research on U.S. policy for ERD&D, federal ERD&D budgets, and ERD&D funding
scenarios associated with climate change policy. The Project Manager will
have primary responsibility for crafting annual commentaries on and
recommendations for the U.S. ERD&D budget. She or he will also develop
recommendations for strategic planning of U.S. ERD&D. The Project Manager
will be responsible for managing at least two full-time postdoctoral
research fellows and several research assistants; collaborating closely with
ETIP's Director and other Harvard faculty and staff; developing and managing
the project budget; and the timely achievement of project milestones and
deliverables. Collaborating with colleagues, he or she will actively
communicate research results and policy recommendations to key stakeholders
in a range of forums: congressional briefings, meetings with business and
NGO leaders and with researchers from other universities, in scholarly
publications, and in the media.
Required Education, Experience, and Skills
Candidates must have at least 5 years experience and a record of progressive
achievement in some combination of: analyzing policy for publicly-funded
ERD&D; developing and analyzing federal budgets for ERD&D; and strategic
planning for ERD&D. Candidates should also have experience managing research
teams and developing and administering research project budgets, and have
excellent project management skills. Candidates will also have superb
skills in presenting complex material to a wide range of audiences.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in public policy, economics, political
science, or a related field, with a clear focus on ERD&D. Candidates who
have focused on other aspects of energy policy in their doctoral work, hold
a Ph.D. in engineering or the natural sciences related to energy policy, or
hold a Master's degree and have extensive experience, will be considered.
Research Fellowship
Energy Research, Development, and Deployment (ERD&D) Policy
ETIP is seeking two Fellows to work on U.S. ERD&D policy. The ERD&D Fellows
will work primarily within a three-year project with three related but
distinct goals: 1) producing a comprehensive set of recommendations for the
next U.S. administration for investing what may be a greatly expanded
federal energy technology innovation budget, funded from sale of carbon
emission allowances or a carbon tax; 2) preparing annual analysis of,
commentary on, and recommendations for the ERD&D budget, including, but not
limited to, climate-change-related ERD&D; 3) producing a report comparing
energy-technology innovation activities in the public and private sectors in
the United States and internationally. The ERD&D Fellows will report
directly to the ERD&D Project Manager at ETIP. They will provide core
research support for the budget analysis and international comparison
activities and will help shape the annual and comprehensive recommendations.
The Fellows will also play a major role in the budget commentary and
recommendation dissemination process, which may include meetings with
relevant stakeholders in business, government, industry, and academia, as
well as interviews with the media.
Required Education, Experience and Skills
Applications for ERD&D Fellowships are welcome from recent Ph.D. recipients.
The ideal candidate will have professional experience analyzing policy for
publicly-funded ERD&D; developing and analyzing federal budgets for ERD&D;
and/or strategic planning for ERD&D. Candidates will also have excellent
skills in presenting complex material to a wide range of audiences.
Candidates will ideally hold a Ph.D. in public policy, economics, political
science, or a related field. Professional or academic background in
engineering or the natural sciences, related to ERD&D, is welcome, assuming
candidates also have considerable background in public-policy-related
aspects of ERD&D. A clear focus on ERD&D will be a plus. Candidates who have
focused on other aspects of energy policy in their doctoral work, or who
hold a Master's degree and have extensive experience, will be considered.
