Organisation

Carbon Tracker Initiative is an independent financial think tank that carries out in-depth analysis on the impact of the energy transition on capital markets and the potential investment in high-cost, carbon-intensive fossil fuels. We believe that financial markets, regulators, investors and policymakers all have an urgent role to play in guiding the world to a climate-secure energy system. Carbon Tracker’s analysis of unburnable carbon, stranded assets, and wasted capital has reframed the debate around climate change risk. We provide data and analysis to a range of institutional investors and investor organisations such as the CA100+.

This is an exciting time for Carbon Tracker as a rapidly growing organisation looking to deepen and broaden our reach. We are looking for a Analyst to contribute to research within our Oil, Gas and Mining team. The successful applicant will be expected to deliver public materials from the very beginning, increasingly influencing the research agenda and establishing themselves as a thought leader on transition risk topics.
