The Climate and Energy Policy Program (CEPP) of Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment and the Bits & Watts Initiative of Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy invite applications for a post-doctoral position focused on electricity affordability. The Fellow will join the thriving community of the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, and will receive mentorship from an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers connecting scientific research with real-world decision making, including Michael Wara and Michael Mastrandrea (CEPP leads) and Ines Azevedo (Bits & Watts lead).
This full-time fellowship is crafted for early-career technical scholars with a strong interest in energy policy design and implementation. It offers a hands-on opportunity to apply your scientific skills and expertise to address urgent and intensifying electricity affordability challenges in California and beyond. This work will build on and deepen partnerships with policy stakeholders and Stanford’s long track record of policy engagement on these issues in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. The Fellow will also engage with external policy partners to ensure that products are maximally relevant to active policy processes, engaging directly in such processes when appropriate.
The Fellow will lead technical analysis of electricity rate design adjustments aimed at improving electricity affordability and addressing key challenges, particularly for low-income ratepayers. We seek a postdoctoral scholar with electricity system modeling and rate design experience and strong data analysis and management skills. A willingness to apply expertise to new policy-relevant questions is more important than deep, preexisting experience with electricity policy.
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.
Stanford University seeks to hire the best talent and to promote a safe and secure environment for all members of the university community and its property. To that end, new staff hires must successfully pass a background check prior to starting work at Stanford University.
