Maryland is a leader in addressing climate change with a comprehensive program for mitigation and adaptation. The current goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030 and an intent for net zero by 2045. This goal is complemented by ongoing programs for coastal resilience, adaptation to more intense storms, more severe floods, extensive droughts and heat waves. These state-wide efforts are guided by the Maryland Commission on Climate Change (MCCC).
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences is currently searching for a Science Policy Fellow. The Science Policy Fellow, working with experts within the University System of Maryland (USM) and Second Nature, will lead the development of a report describing conceptual pathways for the UMCES to achieve net zero. In addition, the Fellow will collaborate with experts across USM to develop recommendations for tracking progress, sharing knowledges across the USM institutions and documenting practices that could be adopted by other organizations in Maryland and beyond. The Science Policy Fellow will staff and participate in the MCCC Science and Technical Working Group (STWG) meetings as well as attend MCCC meetings. The Fellow will be able to participate in any STWG activity that suits their background and professional interests.
