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.
