Economics Research Fellowship - PAID

Description

The Economics Research Fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students at Stanford University. Interns will contribute research, writing, and analytical support to ongoing projects led by the Manager, Economics and Policy, in collaboration with EDF’s Healthy Communities focus area, primarily focusing on EDF’s efforts to measure, monetize, and mitigate the health, and climate harming impacts to communities from petrochemical pollution and other critical anthropogenic sources. As part of this effort, the intern will support the compilation of policy briefs, memos, and discussion papers that will disseminate findings from literature-based discursive research and support the Manager in completing ongoing analytical tasks, which include the use of EDF-designed tools to identify and visualize facility and regional level datasets aimed at capturing the socioeconomic determinants of health risks. The intern will also use insights from this research and other prescribed material developed by EDF teams, to support the Manager in ongoing efforts to embed equity and justice considerations in the Economics team’s work. The intern will produce analysis and written outputs for both internal and external audiences. This internship is hybrid out of an EDF office in Austin, TX, Boulder, CO, Boston, MA, New York, NY, Raleigh, NC, San Francisco, CA, or Washington D.C. Intern supervisor is in Washington, D.C. and many team members are in New York.
