CLEE City Streets Project Fellowship
The Center for Law, Energy and the Environment is offering two positions for fellows to work on the Center’s City Streets Project in May and June 2010. We are undertaking this project in collaboration with the Center for Resource Efficient Communities at Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design. These fellows will be in at the beginning of a multi-year project that will look at the design, function and regulation of a major city street with an eye toward reducing related greenhouse gas emissions. Working with experts in urban design, water use, traffic management, parking policy, human behavior and energy efficiency, we will select a typical street and identify wasteful design and use. We will establish a vision for the design and use of that street that would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Then, we will identify barriers to making that vision a reality in the form of rules, statutes, practices, funding decisions and governance. Finally, we will work to eliminate those barriers through education and policy development. During this initial two-month exercise, the fellows will be involved in preliminary legal research that will help us set the scope for the remainder of our work. There may be an opportunity for work on the project beyond the initial two-month period.
Fellows will engage in research and writing, will participate in meetings with other project participants, and may be asked to conduct interviews. The fellows will work under the direction of Steven Weissman, the Center’s Associate Director for Energy Law and Policy. The positions will require full-time work for two months. Steps will be taken to accommodate final exam schedules.
Please provide the following information to the Center:
1) cover letter outlining your interest in the subject area and any relevant experience, and
2) resume or CV.
Review of applications begins on January 15th, 2010. Applications accepted until positions have been filled.
