Dear colleagues,
 

Our team continues to grow and we have 4 exciting opportunities to share from CIEL’s Fossil Economy Program:

Corporate Accountability Attorney (Petrochemicals / US): The Attorney will drive our work to hold the US petrochemicals sector at large, and enabling actors within it, accountable for their contributions to the converging planetary crises. The focus of this position will be to 1) help expose the role of the petrochemicals sector in contributing to climate change, plastic pollution, and other environmental harms; 2) develop legal theories to hold companies legally responsible for their impacts; 3) through research and analysis, build the knowledge base of corporate knowledge and historical malfeasance. 

Finance Campaigner (Petrochemicals / US): The Campaigner will build out CIEL’s strategies to expose the growing legal and financial risks of petrochemical investment for companies, investors, and government decision makers. This position will 1) engage in research and work with partners to understand the structure of financial support for petrochemicals and related infrastructure (CCS, hydrogen, ammonia) in the United States; 2) develop analyses that expose the financial risks facing the petrochemical sector, and 3) develop and implement strategies to communicate those risks to educate and equip key audiences, including frontline and fenceline communities actively opposing petrochemical expansion.

Communications Campaign Specialist (Petrochemicals / US): The communications specialist (digital campaigner) will use strategic communications tools and strategies to drive CIEL’s campaigns to stop petrochemical expansion in the United States. The specialist will use rapid response communications to accelerate proactive advocacy campaigns and support regional coalition strategies at the epicenter of planned petrochemical expansion. This position sits in the communications department but will work as an embedded comms person in the Fossil Economy Program.
 

Senior Campaigner Geoengineering (global): The Senior Campaigner will grow and deepen our work to address the increasing threat posed by geoengineering, with a particular emphasis on solar geoengineering, marine geoengineering, and highly speculative proposals for large-scale ‘carbon removal’ technologies that threaten biodiversity and human rights on a planetary scale.  The focus of this position will be to a) grow public awareness of and literacy around the risks of geoengineering to the climate, human rights, and ecosystems in order to hold decision makers accountable; b) advocate in international fora, treaties, agreements, and (inter)governmental negotiations to counter geoengineering proposals and make space for real solutions to the climate crisis that avoid dangerous technofixes; and c) strengthen civil society coordination and collaboration to confront geoengineering and to support a powerful movement to demand a just transformation away from the fossil economy.

To share a little bit more about the team you would be joining: 

CIEL’s Fossil Economy Program works to transform the fossil economy by fighting the expansion of petrochemical production, confronting the overuse of plastics, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides,  and working to expose and stop false solutions like carbon capture and storage, carbon dioxide removal, and other geoengineering approaches.  By tackling the shared threats of fossil fuels, plastics, and agrochemicals (fossil fertilizers and pesticides) and by unmasking the speculative nature of unproven technofixes, we accelerate the implementation  of real solutions to the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity collapse, and toxic pollution. Check out the team here.

Here’s an overview of all open positions at CIEL.

Please, share this information with potentially interested candidates.

Warm wishes,

Lili Fuhr & Steven Feit
