The Schatz Center is located in the Humboldt Bay region of coastal northwestern California — an area which is well-positioned to become a hub for U.S. Pacific Coast offshore wind development. The Center has a dynamic, multi-disciplinary portfolio of offshore wind-related activities, with over 30 publications during the past four years related to the potential for offshore wind development along the U.S. Pacific Coast. The Center works closely with federal, state, Tribal, and local government agencies, and it also engages actively with a variety of companies and organizations relevant to offshore wind.
The Schatz Center team works in a hybrid environment that supports flexibility and connection. Our team members currently have the option to work onsite all the time or alternate between working remotely and at least 25% onsite at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the selected candidate could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
