Global Green is looking for a reseacher to support our work with evaluating resiliency strategies for communities nationally, including in the Gulf Coast and Puerto Rico.
Topics include:
- primary research on incentives for building sustainable energy, water and waste systems.
- background research on models for funding and building stormwater management
- assessment of current practices for cleaning up contaminated soil and brownfields
The researcher will work with the Global Green team as well as senior advisors in the field.
Due to the complexity and time required, this position is considerably more intensive in terms of the time required (at least 120 hours) than most volunteer positions at Global Green.
