Beschreibung

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is an award-winning, independent, global, non-profit research organization that provides data-driven research to advance policies that reduce the health and environmental impacts of the transportation sector.

The ICCT offers a mission-driven and culturally diverse workplace where intelligence, flexibility, transparency, and good humor are highly valued.

Join our team of more than 100 talented researchers and support staff with offices in Washington D.C., San Francisco, Berlin, Beijing, and São Paulo.

A socially just transition of the mobility sector is one of the key targets of the current German government.

The coalition's agreement states that the government plans to use the 2020s to kick off a transition process which enables sustainable, efficient, barrier-free, intelligent, and innovative mobility that is affordable for everyone.

This policy also aligns with the ambition required to decarbonise the transport sector, and supports the government's overall target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.

The ICCT seeks a Fellow to contribute to a research project focusing on an equitable and socially just transition to low
- and zero-emission vehicles. During this 12 month fellowship, based in our office in Berlin, Germany, you will work in close collaboration with transportation experts in a friendly, collaborative, and nonhierarchical environment and will report to an ICCT Senior Researcher.

You Will:

Collect and analyze data on the uptake of low

Help organize workshops and facilitate exchanges with policymakers;
Support the development of policy recommendations for a socially just transition to low
