Using a mixed-methods approach including data analysis, corporate document review, and policy mapping, the fellow will produce publicly accessible, scientifically rigorous research that studies if AI's energy demands are being shaped by corporate profit rather than public need, and if fossil fuel interests are partnering with tech giants to lock in fossil fuel infrastructure.

Qualifications - PhD in energy systems, environmental policy, geography, data science, or a closely related discipline. - Experience designing and executing interdisciplinary or mixed-methods research. - Required skills: research design, statistical analysis, scientific writing, and ability to translate technical findings for non-expert audiences. - Proficiency in a scripting language (Python preferred; R or Julia acceptable). - Experience with emissions accounting, energy-systems analysis, corporate-disclosure research, and narrative or discourse analysis is strongly preferred. - Familiarity with the AI landscape, tech policy, and environmental justice is a plus. - Experience with GIS and community-based research collaborations is preferred. Physical Requirements - Must be able to remain in a stationary position for long periods of time. - Continuously operate a computer and control a mouse and keyboard. - Communicate in verbal and written formats with internal staff and external constituents. Work Schedule - Regular business hours, which may vary depending on time zone. - Occasional work outside of standard hours for events, travel, or time-sensitive matters may be required.
