Applicants should be based out of India, with a strong preference for Delhi NCR. The candidate will receive an indefinite contract with a probation period of 6 months based on performance. The position will be home-based.

The Policy Advisor will principally support four workstreams over the next year: first, IISD’s efforts to build national and state-level datasets on government support to the energy sector, including analysis of clean energy support needed to meet national targets; second, IISD’s efforts to support state-owned energy enterprises in a changing energy system; third, supporting the development of an electric vehicle ecosystem in India; and, fourth, accelerating the implementation of solar irrigation schemes. While principally focused on IISD’s work in India, the candidate will also be given opportunities to contribute to activities in our global workstream.
