ANNOUNCING OPEN PAID POSITIONS WITH THE ESI RAPID RESPONSE GROUP: FALL 2020
  The ESI Rapid Response Group (RRG) was formed to respond to critical environmental issues in a timely manner with science-based analysis and assistance in the service of our partners in communities, civil society, government and industry. The RRG generates a variety of targeted materials including synopses of state of the art, briefing documents, fact sheets, talking points, executive summaries, and other products in various media and across a range of important environmental issues. The RRG also serves as a bridge between the MIT community and our partners by connecting individuals and expertise through informal conversations, curated panels, symposia and other knowledge and perspective sharing events.
Members of the RRG are undergraduate and graduate students studying a variety of fields and majors at MIT and other universities. The RRG is guided and managed through the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative by the director, Prof. John E. Fernández. See this ARTICLE<https://environmentalsolutions.mit.edu/news/rapidly-responding-in-a-complex-world/?utm_source=MIT+Environmental+Solutions+Initiative+News&utm_campaign=3456c30702-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_20_05_01_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e72bab4498-3456c30702-181546001&mc_cid=3456c30702&mc_eid=42b2e9e7e5> for a description of the past Summer’s work.
The RRG collaborates with all levels of government including congressional offices, state and city officials as well as various community organizations, the MIT Washington Office, many MIT professors and researchers, a range of environmental groups, industry trade groups, individual companies, and many others. The RRG project portfolio is developed through discussions within the group and in consultation with outside partners.
The RRG is now accepting applications for 20 open positions for the 2020 Fall term. All MIT undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to work for pay at standard MIT rates (UG $13.50 per hour;  Grad $15.00 per hour) and undergrads for UROP credit. Time commitments are to be determined individually but 5-10 hours per week is typical.  If you are interested, please send an email with your resume or other synopsis of your work experience to esirrg at mit.edu<mailto:esirrg at mit.edu>.
The first group meeting for the Fall will be held on September 8, 2020.
