Research Specialist, Clean Fuels
The EFI Foundation is seeking an accomplished, creative, and curious Research Specialist to join our dynamic and expanding team. This role is ideal for a mid-career professional with a strong foundation in clean fuels analysis (e.g., biofuels, clean hydrogen) or clean energy policy. The position will focus on accelerating the uptake of biofuels and clean hydrogen in the energy system. The successful candidate will have experience working in or with DOE, EPA, USDA, U.S. Congress, industry, or researching clean fuels issues at a high level.
While this individual will contribute to multiple projects, the initial primary focus will be on developing roadmaps and frameworks to accelerate clean fuels deployment in both the U.S. and Brazilian energy systems. Key tasks include authoring high-profile reports and thought leadership, presenting our work to key stakeholders, managing and conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis, and supporting the work of our communications staff. Daily tasks can vary and are often project-specific.
The ideal candidate will have 7 or more years of experience in clean fuels analysis, clean energy research, regulatory engagement, or energy markets. You should have advanced knowledge of the role of clean fuels (biofuels, clean hydrogen) in energy system decarbonization, including relevant policies, regulations, and technical innovations to support their adoption.
