About the Program
The Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center (GEC) develops and promotes pragmatic and nonpartisan policy solutions designed to advance global energy security, enhance economic opportunity, and accelerate pathways to net-zero emissions.

Successful candidates will have a passion for the work, an entrepreneurial ethos, and a collegial spirit while also being effective communicators.
