Overview
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.
Program/Department Overview
The goal of the Energy Transition Team is to bend the curve on greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production and use by 2030, while meeting the world’s energy needs cleanly and equitably. We are achieving this through a defined set of objectives targeted at 1) reducing emissions from oil and gas production, delivery and use, and 2) reducing demand for oil and gas in power generation, transportation, buildings and industry. To achieve our goal, we seek reforms in law, regulation, and/or business practice through a set of strategic corporate partnerships, direct engagement with policymakers and mobilizing investor and public sentiment in favor of change. In achieving our objectives, we facilitate cutting-edge science, technical innovation, and rigorous economic and financial analysis to develop durable solutions.
Overall Function
Media research performed by the intern will focus on three core objectives: 1) monitor the media conversation around vehicle electrification to expand reporter lists, capture new factoids and identify key influencers, 2) evaluate a myriad of marketing and media channels for reaching target audiences in key regions, or key verticals, and identify new opportunities to increase EDF thought leadership and media visibility on truck electrification, and 3) profile key decision makers using desktop research and package and present those insights to inform messages meant to appeal to that individual. The intern will report to the Senior Communications Specialist.
