It is a part-time role, which can be combined with other pursuits and would suit anyone interested in working at the intersection of business and academia in energy, to support and build our extensive stakeholder relations. Please do pass along to anyone you think might be a good fit.

This exciting new role will involve working closely with me and other wonderful colleagues at EPRG (soon to join Bluesky!), Cambridge Judge Business School, and the rest of the University of Cambridge. Please do get in touch with me directly if you want to have a quick chat about the position.
