About The Position
The Vermont Law & Graduate School's Environmental Law Center and Environmental Advocacy Clinic invite applications from recent or upcoming law graduates to serve as a one-year climate action fellow to begin in August 2025, with presumed renewal for one additional year (specific start and end dates are negotiable). The position combines an opportunity to conduct academic, legal, and/or policy research on climate law with responsibilities to work with student clinicians in the Environmental Advocacy Clinic on cutting-edge climate litigation and advocacy. The Climate Action Fellow position provides a strong starting point for an academic career in doctrinal or clinical environmental law teaching, and for other opportunities in public-interest climate policy and advocacy. The position honors the climate law leadership of Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow for Climate Policy Patrick Parenteau. The position is full-time and can be either residential in South Royalton, Vermont, at VLGS's beautiful campus along the banks of the White River (preferred), or hybrid/remote, with a limited on-campus presence to be negotiated as part of the hiring process. This one-year position is presumptively eligible to renewal for one additional year, subject to VLGS needs.
