The Union of Concerned Scientists seeks a senior economist to lead UCS's efforts to bring sound economics to bear on developing and building support for strong policies to mitigate against climate change. UCS is an alliance of concerned citizens and scientists; we augment rigorous scientific analysis with innovative thinking and advocacy to build a cleaner environment and safer world. The economist will evaluate the economic feasibility of various climate policy approaches at the state, regional and federal levels, as well as the integration of U.S. and international emissions limitation regimes and the costs of climate change impacts. Applicants must be able to work collaboratively with policy experts, be well versed in the use of major economic models in analyzing the costs and benefits of energy and environmental policies, and skilled at communicating the results of such analysis to non-economists, policymakers and the public. Candidates should have a doctorate (preferred) or other advanced degree in economics or financial analysis, and at least five years of relevant experience on environmental and energy topics.
