SEP is looking to hire an Associate Fellow which is a scholar level position with a pathway to senior research positions in the organization. The energy transition with a rapid introduction of clean energy sources is creating challenges for the power sector.

In order to address this challenge, CSEP has on-going studies on governance, policy-making, and regulation of the power sector, and is looking to expand the team that works on these issues.
