Economic Policy Intern

EDF offers internships and fellowships for students and recent graduates in a variety of programs and departments throughout the organization. The ultimate goal of our internship and fellowship program is to provide high-quality experiences (including relevant projects and opportunities for networking) that form the foundation for any individual who is serious about pursuing an environmental career.

Environmental Defense Fund’s Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) works to advance policies that make market forces work for – rather than against – the environment. Our work is guided by two closely linked missions: program support and thought leadership. We work closely with all of EDF’s programs to ensure our work is based on sound economics and policy design. Through research and analysis, we work to strengthen economics throughout EDF, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and interact with policymakers and other stakeholders to build support for economically sound environmental policies.

EDF’s Office of the Chief Economist is seeking a qualified and motivated student for its Summer 2020 Internship. The Economic Policy Intern will assist economists in EDF’s Office of the Chief Economist in developing and analyzing market-based solutions to a wide range of environmental problems through research, data analysis, and assistance with writing internal reports and public communications.
