Precourt Institute for Energy
As part of the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the Precourt Institute for Energy concentrates the talents of the University on energy research and education, from basic science and technology to policy and business. We disseminate research results and help the University develop energy-literate leaders as part of its educational mission. We work across campus in all seven of Stanford's schools. We also build collaborations globally with industry, other research institutions, government, and civic organizations in pursuit of sustainable, affordable, secure energy for all people.

Explore Energy Program
Explore Energy is a student engagement and energy education program under the Precourt Institute for Energy. It serves as a one-stop resource and nexus of connection for all students who are interested in energy--aggregating classes, majors, events, research, student clubs, internships, and jobs across campus. Courses, fellowships such as the programs described below, mentorship, and a residential living program are also offered under the Explore Energy umbrella at Precourt for both undergraduates and graduates of any major, providing opportunities for students to learn about energy and sustainability both in an academic and an applied setting. The Explore Energy program has an advisory board of Stanford faculty and staff.

Shultz Energy Fellowships program
The Shultz Energy Fellowships program connects Stanford students with energy and climate ecosystems across the West through paid, energy-related public service fellowships during the summer. Named in honor of former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, one of the most respected American public servants of the past half-century, the program was launched in 2016 by Dian Grueneich, an affiliated scholar at both the Precourt Institute and the Bill Lane Center, and Bruce Cain, Director of the Bill Lane Center and Professor of Political Science. It is a partnership of Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy, Bill Lane Center for the American West, Haas Center for Public Service, and Stanford in Government.

Schneider Sustainable Energy Fellowships
Through the Schneider Fellows program, Stanford students work at leading U.S. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the sustainable energy field. Fellows spend a summer quarter or one year tackling the world's economic, environmental, social, and technical challenges associated with harnessing energy resources to deliver energy services.

Seeking Program Manager, Shultz Energy Fellowships program, Schneider Sustainable Energy Fellowships program, Summer Undergraduate Program on Energy Research (SUPER)

The Precourt Institute for Energy is seeking exceptional candidates to serve as the Program Manager for programs such as the Shultz Energy Fellowships and Schneider Sustainable Energy Fellowships programs, working closely with and reporting directly to the Assistant Director for Explore Energy.

The Program Manager will manage the development of the Shultz Energy Fellowships, the Schneider Sustainable Energy Fellowships, and the Summer Undergraduate Program on Energy Research (SUPER). While Shultz and Schneider place Stanford students in energy and climate roles across the western U.S. with leading government organizations and NGOs, SUPER offers students the opportunity to conduct on-campus research with Stanford faculty. We are looking for a Program Manager who is experienced in climate and energy, eager to work closely with students, and excited to strengthen and grow these experiential learning opportunities that connect academic training with real-world impact in the public, nonprofit, and research sectors.

This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position.

Your Responsibilities will include:

• Lead and execute experiential learning programs--including the Shultz Energy Fellowships, Schneider Sustainable Energy Fellowships, and Summer Undergraduate Program on Energy Research (SUPER)--in collaboration with campus partners (e.g., the Bill Lane Center for the American West, Haas Center for Public Service, Stanford in Government, Stanford in Washington) and off-campus organizations (e.g., California Energy Commission, NRDC). These programs currently support approximately 60 undergraduate and graduate students annually, with plans to grow. The Program Manager plays a key role in sustaining and expanding these efforts, including stakeholder engagement and fundraising support.
  
• Student engagement is a big part of this role. The candidate must have an enthusiasm to work with students and be excited about developing strong, lasting connections with them. Knowledge of Stanford University is preferred but not required.
  
• Build partnerships and relationships between the Precourt Institute for Energy and California agencies such as the California Energy Commission (CEC), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for public policy engagement and research.
  
• Creativity, passion, and excitement to create positive, meaningful programs for Stanford students to help them navigate their connections with energy on campus is a must.
  
• Develop streamlined workflows to manage tasks and resources for growing programs.
  
• Build awareness and visibility of the programs across campus, including marketing and promoting the programs (and other student efforts at Precourt) and doing outreach to student-facing groups across campus.
  
• Build and nurture relationships across Stanford's energy ecosystem, particularly with external partners. Relationship building is an important part of this role.
  
• Mentor students, connect them to resources and opportunities, and help them chart a path forward based on their interests.
  
• Manage Course Assistants and other student hires, including helping run team meetings and delegating tasks to others.
  
• Develop and grow new efforts, such as an Alumni Advisory Board for the fellowship programs.
  
• Manage and track fellowship program budgets starting at $250,000, including supporting the Assistant Director in developing comprehensive budget proposals and reports.
  
• Collaborate and work together with other managers and leadership at the Precourt Institute, particularly the Explore Energy team.
