  • Support grantmaking to advance work on decarbonization pathways, including scenario analysis and analytical methods for decarbonization analysis (e.g., energy modeling, economic modeling, land use modeling, integrated assessment modeling)
  • Stay informed of the latest knowledge, analysis, and research related to GHG estimation, accounting, and decarbonization pathways
  • Perform other duties as assigned


Education and experience:
