RMI offers three-month to one-year internships, depending on the needs of the project and the funding available. Any of the departments at RMI may request funding for a project-related internship at any time during the calendar year. Competition for these positions is intense. In most cases, candidates will be required to have at least a BA or BS, be able to demonstrate effective interpersonal and communications skills, have broad interest in environmental and resource policy issues, and have a desire to apply these interests to practical, real-life situations. Related work experience is a plus. Interns are expected to be self-motivated and require minimal supervision. Applicants must be able to function effectively in an unusual work environment, including flexible work hours and a communal work area.

Duties and activities of our interns will vary with the project needs and the intern's ability and interests. Responsibilities may include research and writing, technical analysis, general office work (responding to information requests, maintaining the library and resource files and databases, copying, etc.), giving tours, or work on the RMI physical facility (upkeep of the communal kitchen, grounds, greenhouse, etc.).

RMI has two offices — in Boulder, Colorado and in Snowmass, Colorado. RMI's Boulder offices are located in downtown Boulder, and have excellent access to local amenities, services, and public transportation. RMI's Snowmass offices are in a rural area 180 miles southwest of Denver, 25 miles from I-70 and twelve miles from the Aspen airport. The nearest public transportation is 2.5 miles away and the area has limited amenities and services.

RMI's Mobility and Vehicle Efficiency Team (MOVE) works with leading organizations on transformative projects to dramatically increase the efficiency of transportation platforms.

• MObility is the ultimate "end use" that people desire, not gallons of gasoline, diesel, or kerosene;
• Vehicle Efficiency is the "least cost" way of achieving the mobility modern societies require.

RMI's Energy & Resources Team (ERT) is seeking a candidate interested in working with our Energy & Resources Team on the Utility Industry, Climate Change Strategy, and the Next Generation Utility.
