Electricity Policy Legal Fellow, Stanford Law School
Stanford, California
Employer: Stanford University
Industry: Academic
Salary: $70000 - $80000. per year
Job type: Full-Time
Electricity Policy Legal Fellow
The Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy Program (ENRLP) of Stanford Law School and the Climate and Energy Policy Program (CEPP) of Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment invite applications for an Electricity Policy Legal Fellow. The Electricity Policy Fellow will join the thriving community in the Stanford Law School, reporting to the ENRLP Director, and will work primarily with the leaders of CEPP at the Woods Institute within the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
This full-time fellowship is crafted for early-career attorneys with a strong interest in the implications of climate and energy policy design and implementation for energy affordability, environmental justice, and climate resilience during the transition to a decarbonized energy system. It offers a hands-on opportunity to apply your legal skills and expertise to address active climate and energy policy challenges in California and beyond. This work will build on Stanford's track record of policy engagement on these issues and deepen partnerships with policy stakeholders.
The Fellow will lead legal and policy analysis to support constructive solutions to (1) transmission siting, interconnection, and cost-allocation challenges that threaten to delay the transition to zero-emissions electricity in California and the west and (2) regionalization of energy markets in the western United States via creation of one or more Regional Transmission Operator organizations. The fellow will play a key role in a team including energy system modelers, additional lawyers, and energy system experts in developing policy solutions.
Fellowship applicants should have:
• A J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school (with membership in the California bar strongly preferred)
• Strong academic credentials, excellent writing and editing abilities, interpersonal and teamwork skills, and a collaborative spirit
• A commitment to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion within the workplace and a track record of community engagement and service.
• Strong organizational/management skills, attention to detail, self-motivation, and aptitude for working with students and diverse policy stakeholders
• Sound judgment and exceptional ethical standards in serving as a trusted source for evidence-based analysis and policy engagement.
This position is for a one-year fixed term, with possible extension for a second year subject to funding availability. Salary is based on a formula that is competitive with similar positions, and Stanford provides a generous benefits package.
Applicants should submit a cover letter summarizing their interest in these positions and relevant experience, a resume, a writing sample, a list of three professional references, and a transcript through http://stanfordcareers.stanford.edu/, referencing job number 103152. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible and will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
Consistent with its obligations under the law, the University will provide reasonable accommodation to any employee with a disability who requires accommodation to perform the essential functions of his or her job.
The expected base pay range for this position is $70,000-$80,000. Stanford University has provided a pay range representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for the position. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget availability, and internal equity.
