The successful candidate will likely have between 5 and 15 years of experience in the field.  Particular consideration will be given to the following experience:

• Utilizing energy systems modeling tools such as LEAP, NEMS, NEEDS, Times/MARKAL, etc.
• Managing small teams independently on projects, assigning work, managing budgets, and leading external communication
• Working on efforts directly related to greenhouse gas policy in the energy/energy-efficiency sector – including work on the Clean Power Plan, national or subnational inventories and forecasts, and/or cap-and-trade mechanisms
• Working with agencies, stakeholders, or partners to jointly design/evaluate policies and projects
• Contributing to development or enhancement of systems models and analysis approaches
