Fellowship: W.Virginia U. College of Law Center for Energy & Sust. Dev. (Deadline Aug. 5)
West Virginia University College of Law
Center for Energy and Sustainable Development
Steptoe & Johnson Fellowship in Energy and
Environmental Law and Policy
West Virginia University College of Law’s Center for
Energy and Sustainable Development is now acceptingapplications for the Steptoe
& Johnson Fellowship in Energy and Environmental Law and Policy for the
2013-2014 academic year. This fellowship is a full-time, one-year position
(from September 2013 through August 2014). The position involves policy and
legal research and writing, and assisting with organizing projects such as
conferences and workshops.
The Center for Energy and Sustainable Development is an
energy and environmental public policy and research organization at the WVU
College of Law. The Center conducts objective, unbiased research and policy
analyses, and focuses on promoting practices that will balance the continuing
demand for energy resources—and the associated economic benefits—alongside the
need to reduce the environmental impacts of developing the earth’s natural
resources. One mission of the Center is to train the next generation of energy
and environmental attorneys. The Center benefits from being located on the
campus of a major research institution, with expanded opportunities for
inter-disciplinary research and an integral role for the Center in providing
the policy, legal and regulatory analyses to support the technical research
being conducted across the WVU campus.
The Steptoe & Johnson Fellow will further the work of
the Center by pursuing research on issues relating to energy and environmental
law and policy, under the direction of the Center’s Director and the WVU Law
faculty associated with the Center. The Fellow will be expected to generate
policy-oriented written work to be published through the Center and other
venues such as law journals. The Fellow will also assist with projects relating
to the Center’s programs, including organizing conferences and other events,
and public education and outreach efforts. The Fellow will also be expected to
assist with the program implementation of the LL.M. in Energy and Sustainable
Development, which will be offered by the WVU College of Law beginning in the
2014-15 academic year (assuming acquiescence by the ABA).
Candidates should possess a J.D. (or equivalent law degree);
authorization to practice law from a state bar; a strong academic record;
excellent analytical and writing skills; and experience in energy and
environmental law or policy. Previous experience in law practice or clinical
instruction is preferred but not a necessary qualification.
Applicants should apply through the WVU Research
Corporation, for the position of Associate for Energy and Environmental Law
& Policy, at https://www6.ultirecruit.com/WES1016/JobBoard/JobDetails.aspx?__ID=*91F693A81A4C351A.
