Description:
The Environmental Law Institute (ELI), a non-profit organization located in

evolution of environmental law. Today, ELI is an internationally recognized
independent research and education center whose interdisciplinary staff of
lawyers and scientists works to develop creative solutions to critical problems
in environmental law, policy, and management worldwide. Support for the
Institute's research comes from a mix of private foundations and state and
federal government agencies.

ELI periodically hires recent college graduates to serve as Research Associates.
Research Associates work directly with the 15 - 20 lawyers and scientists in the
Research and Policy Division on projects addressing environmental and natural
resource protection and pollution prevention. A typical workload combines
research and administration.

The Research and Policy Division publishes research studies and conducts a
variety of training courses and workshops. Specific subject areas include:
hazardous waste and brownfields, air and water quality, environmental
enforcement, sustainable land use, international environmental policy,
biodiversity, wetlands, public health, and mining law.

In addition to researching and writing for some of these studies, Research
Associates also help coordinate and plan various events at ELI, including
seminars, conferences, training courses, and workshops. Other administrative
work may include creating and updating ELI web pages (no previous experience
required), communications, and managing interns,

ELI is accepting applications for Research Associate positions that begin in the
Summer of 2010. The Institute is also accepting applications for other positions
throughout its departments. Please see our web site

Qualifications: (1) superior research, writing, and interpersonal communication
skills, and (2) strong desire to gain knowledge in the environmental field. A
background in environmental issues is preferred but not required. Research
Associates are asked to stay for a minimum of two years. This entry-level
position is designed for recent college graduates. Previous Research Associates

environmental field.
