ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

CLIMATE ECONOMICS BRANCH

 

Climate Change Division, Office of Air & Radiation

 

Energy Economist

Mitigation Specialist

 

 

EPA is hiring for the following two positions:

(1) Energy Economist

(2) Climate Mitigation Specialist

 

The Climate Change Division (CCD) is responsible for

conducting economic analyses of the mitigation of

greenhouse gases (GHGs); assessing long-term projections of

climate change, including potential impacts to human health

and the environment; coordinating domestic and

international policies relating to climate change; and

developing the official U.S. inventory of GHGs.

 

 

SALARY:

 

For these positions, the salary range is from GS-9 to GS-13

($44,856 to $100,554), dependent upon qualifications.

 

 

CLIMATE ECONOMICS BRANCH:

 

These positions are in the Climate Economics Branch (CEB),

which is responsible for conducting analyses of the

economic effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission

reductions and carbon sequestration, including areas such

as capital turn-over and technological diffusion. In

addition, the Branch is responsible for long-term

scenarios, including GHGs, land-use change, carbon

sequestration, and integrated assessment.

 

The CEB also is responsible for providing analytical rigor

to policy analysis concerning efforts that support the U.S.

Administration's goals of cost-effectively reducing the GHG

intensity of the U.S. economy. The CEB develops

strategies and analytical tools to address a variety of

types of climate change policies and initiates economic

research to advance the state of knowledge of climate

change economics.

 

 

(1) ENERGY ECONOMIST POSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS:

 

The economist will assess climate change mitigation policy

options, particularly in the U.S. energy sector. The

incumbent's time will be spent collaboratively developing

and using large-scale economic models that assess the

economic impacts of GHG mitigation measures. As the focus

of this position is the use of large-scale economic

modeling to conduct research and analysis, previous

experience with economic modeling is preferable.

 

The incumbent should be a self-motivated analyst capable of

contributing to the design of a research program that meets

the analytical needs of the EPA.

 

Strong communication skills are necessary to facilitate

interactions with other economists, stakeholders, and

contractors. Excellent writing skills are required to

communicate the results of research and analysis. The

applicant will be required to work in a team and multi-

disciplinary setting. The incumbent should expect to

engage with and contribute to the climate economics

community through participation at conferences and the

publication of peer-reviewed papers.

 

Successful candidates must have a strong background in

economics and quantitative analysis, and should be familiar

with climate change science and policy. The ideal candidate

should have an advanced degree (PhD preferred) in economics

or engineering, with significant exposure to environmental

and energy economics, and public policy. Understanding of

quantitative skills such as mathematical programming,

econometrics, and statistics is required.

 

 

(2) CLIMATE MITIGATION SPECIALIST POSITION AND

QUALIFICATIONS:

 

An important function of CEB is to provide analytical rigor

to policy decisions concerning efforts to reduce emissions

of methane and other non-CO2 gases in support of the U.S.

Administration's programs that help industry reduce GHG

emissions efficiently. The new Climate Mitigation

Specialist will focus primarily on developing mitigation

cost analyses for various GHG reduction technologies, and

on studying the implications of voluntary and market-based

approaches for meeting reduction goals.

 

Successful candidates must have a strong background in

economics, finance, and quantitative analysis, and should

be familiar with climate change science and policy. Ideal

candidates will have a Masters degree in economics,

engineering, public policy, or a related discipline, and

will have strong quantitative and analytical skills,

including the use of advanced spreadsheets and databases.

Working knowledge of international, project, and

environmental economics is a plus.

 

Both positions require a strong commitment to environmental

protection, excellent writing skills, a high energy level,

and project management experience. Domestic and

international travel may be required.
