Summer Fellow
About the Program
We're seeking recent and upcoming graduates from bachelor's and master's degree programs. Fellows work closely with EER partners on client engagements and an independent research project with hands-on training on our modeling tools.
Fellows complete an independent research project supporting ongoing analysis priorities, with optional participation in client projects. The program is self-directed with a partner-level advisor, periodic interim presentations, and a final deliverable (deck or report).

Primary research on a single emerging technology (e.g., green ammonia, thermal energy storage, solid-state batteries), analyzing regional competitiveness and value chain.
