Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 02.08.26
2026, #5
Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick.
There are 64 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week.
Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). College student? Please ask your career center to sign up for a paid subscription, especially if they pointed you here. Odds are they have not subscribed.
Want to support the jobs list, but can’t swing a subscription? I started an affiliate bookshop on Bookshop.org that will send me a small affiliate bonus if you purchase books using this link (https://bookshop.org/shop/EdsCleanJobs). I also included a selection of books that I’ve enjoyed that address climate change and climate solutions. You can also send me a one-time payment/tip using this link.
What I'm reading this week:
I’m still working my way through The Long Heat: Climate Politics When its Too Late by Wim Carton and Andreas Malm. It offers a lot to think about when consider questions of the role of carbon capture in its various applications. It is not what you would call an uplifting read.
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Lessons From Minnesota: To Preserve Our Planet, We Must Also Preserve Our Democracy (Ben Passer, Atmos)
Actually, I do know how to do this (Emily Atkin, Heated)
