Summary
Each year, ELI hires college graduates to serve as Research Associates. These staff members work directly with the 15–20 lawyers, policy experts, and scientists in the Research and Policy Division on projects addressing environmental and natural resource protection, climate, public health, environmental justice, and pollution prevention. A typical workload combines research, writing, and administration.
The Research and Policy Division publishes research studies and conducts a variety of training courses and workshops. Specific subject areas include air and water quality, climate change, renewable energy, hazardous waste and brownfields, green computing, international environmental policy and institutions, sustainable land use, biodiversity and species conservation, wetlands management, freshwater and ocean policy, environmental health, and environmental enforcement. In addition to researching and writing for these studies, Research Associates help coordinate and plan various professional events at ELI, including seminars, conferences, training courses, and workshops.
Research Associates may also assist ELI’s publications team in gathering content for and editing periodicals such as the Environmental Law Reporter. Other work may include creating and updating ELI web pages (no previous experience required), communications, and managing interns.
