Community Benefits Research Intern - Washington, United States - World Resources Institute
Description
About the Program:
Working towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and addressing the impacts of climate change will require an unprecedented transition to a net-zero economy. A transition of the necessary scale has the potential to offer significant social and economic benefits. However, an economy-wide transition poses significant risk to vulnerable communities, regions, and sectors. WRI works across different sectors, regions, and types of projects to produce research, resources, and data to help those who are most vulnerable participate and thrive in a net-zero economy. One of WRI's focus areas is frameworks and models to deliver benefits, such as community benefits agreements (CBA) and the Department of Energy's Community Benefits Plan (CBP) process, to help ensure communities see positive impacts from clean energy project developments. Through a new portfolio of research, community engagement, and convening, WRI is collaborating to create resources that help community members, developers, governments, and others engage meaningfully. Through this work, WRI seeks to empower and build the capacity for local communities to co-create solutions that address their unique needs and aspirations.
This position is hybrid and will require a few days per week in our Washington DC office.
What you will do:
As a Community Benefits Research Intern, you will play a key role in expanding WRI's work on community benefits. You will do research, analyze agreements, help draft articles, join stakeholder meetings, and learn about different types of frameworks to deliver benefits to communities across the US. As part of this work, you will begin by contributing to the expansion of a database tracking agreements and their characteristics. Based on this and additional research, you will support the development of external-facing knowledge products and communications materials and assist with stakeholder engagement. You will be supported by colleagues on the US Climate and Energy program working directly on community benefits and related environmental justice and policy work.
Internship Learning Outcomes:
•Pursuing or completed a bachelor's or master's degree in policy, planning, labor studies, political science, sociology, or related fields.
•Research and analytical skills.
•Familiarity with or interest in community benefits agreements, labor agreements, and/or other types of agreements.
•Ability to coordinate with internal and external teams promptly.
•Previous experience or demonstrated interest in energy development, transmission, or clean energy.
•Previous experience in community engagement is a plus.
•Previous experience with Asana is a plus.
Compensation
The pay for this internship opportunity is $20/hour for undergrads; $22/hour for graduates and $24/hour for PhD students.
Length of Contract:
This is a full-time, 6 month internship with a flexible start and end date.
Location:
•This is a hybrid internship that will be based out of our Washington D.C. office. You will be required to work in the Washington DC office at least 8 days per month.
•WRI will provide a laptop for the duration of your internship.
How to Apply:
Please submit a resume with a cover letter by May 5, 2024. Applicants must apply through the WRI Careers portal to be considered.
