Subject: Inquiry About Recruiting for Climate/Energy Fellowship
To: <mab23 at uw.edu>


Dear Miriam,

I am emailing you to ask if you could send out a notification of a
climate/energy fellowship to the PCC channels? I am currently a PhD student
at UW in Earth and Space Sciences as well as Astrobiology and I am also a
NextGen Leader with OpenMinds. It has been an amazing opportunity for me as
a student interested in going into climate tech and wanting to network for
career opportunities.

I couldn't recommend this program highly enough, and would love for other
students from UW to have this opportunity. I have attached the brochure for
the application, and the fellowship description below. I would be happy to
explain more about the NextGen Leader program as well. Just let me know!

Thanks,
Kimberly Sinclair

About the Company/Team

OpenMinds drives impact projects to meet the world’s energy needs while
reducing emissions rapidly. We are accelerating progress against the Dual
Challenge by 203X. OpenMinds brings together a network of 100 leaders
across diverse industries, nonprofits, academia, and philanthropy. Our work
as a 501(c)(3) is data-driven, non-partisan, and action-oriented, powered
by a 360° systems-engineering approach and a unique solutions framework.

About the Role

We are looking for students pursuing Masters and Doctoral degrees (e.g.
MBA, MA, MS, PhD, JD, MPP etc.) who are leaders in their fields and
passionate about making an impact in the energy and climate space. While
the focus is on graduate students, we are also open to considering 1-2
exceptional undergraduates. We’re aiming for a diverse pool of candidates,
including international students. We are expecting that NextGen Leaders
will still be matriculating as students during the duration of the program
(i.e. from April 2025 - March 2026). The program requires 2-5 hours/week
and a commitment to attend a bootcamp in a US based city for 3.5 days in
June 2025. Program highlights: - Mentorship from professionals across
sectors, tailored to participant interest - Hands-on sponsored projects
with top companies focused on the Dual Challenge - Workshops and networking
with global leaders and peers in the energy sector - A fully sponsored
bootcamp in Houston, offering immersive learning and collaboration

Applications are due January 31st, 2025, and require basic information,
short essay responses, and an option letter of recommendation from a
faculty member.
