Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 03.08.26
2026, #8
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 77 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. For jobs requiring more than five years experience, there are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available. I also offer career center subscriptions ($300/year) which provides access for up to 10 users. 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.
Voting is the most important thing you can do to enact climate policy and drive change at scale. Primaries for the 2026 U.S. local, state and federal elections start soon. Find information about how to register where you live here: https://www.vote.org/. If you want to do more, consider volunteering with the Environmental Voter Project.
What I'm reading this week:
Scientists, Engineers and Legal Experts Condemn Partisan Attack on Scientific Reference Manual for Judges (Liza Gross, Inside Climate News)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Razor Wire and Clearcutting at the Border Threaten Native Rio Grande Habitat (Martha Pskowski, Inside Climate News)
Environmental Groups Challenge Air Permit for Natural Gas Expansion at Atlanta Plant (Ryan Krugman, Inside Climate News)
