ICF International - now hiring!

Anand Gupta (Environmental Economics, 2013) writes:

We (ICF) will be hiring 7-9 graduates this recruiting season -- and that will be only within my group. ICF is a large, growing firm and I'm sure there are other open positions as well. As you probably know, ICF has a really strong ENSP contingent. I think one of the things that attracts ENSP graduates to the company is the fact that ICF serves the intersection between business and energy/environment that is ideal to our temperaments and the skills we bring to the table.  Here is the entry-level position:

Climate, Energy Efficiency, and Transportation - Research Assistant (Job Number: 1600000550)

I'd recommend students reach out to me for quick informational interviews before they actually apply to the firm.  They can reach me at: Anand Gupta, anandgupta92@gmail.com

Also, let more advanced graduates know about this position -- it requires a Master's degree and/or 3-4 years' experience:

Climate, Energy Efficiency, and Transportation -Associate (1600000552)

Thanks, Anand!!
