The Foreign Policy Program at The Brookings Institution is accepting applications for the Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative. The Director will be a Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Program. The candidate should have expertise in energy security, energy economics and climate policy, as well as a detailed knowledge of U.S. and international energy markets, and expertise in the geopolitics of energy, energy sustainability and/or climate change. Regional expertise in Asia or the Middle East is preferred.
The successful candidate will direct the Foreign Policy Program’s Energy Security and Climate Initiative (ESCI). In addition to developing overall strategy and vision for the Initiative and overseeing all research and publications, the incoming Senior Fellow will work with the Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy to deepen ESCI’s work on energy issues and broaden its work to encompass critical topics like sustainable energy access, and international energy and climate governance. The Senior Fellow will also work to establish research links to other disciplines within Brookings, including the fields of economic studies, urban studies, and international development. Additionally, the Director will coordinate and cooperate closely with other scholars in the Foreign Policy Program, especially in the Brookings Centers in Beijing, Delhi, and Doha, and with scholars in other research programs across the Institution who work on the geopolitical dimensions of international energy.
