Founded in 2014, the Energy Center is an institute devoted to programming and research in energy public policy and the broader energy sector. The Center works closely with the Energy Concentration, which includes 12 energy-focused courses within the full-time MBA program. Since its founding, the Center has organized major conferences, published reports, supported student research projects, and contributed to UNC's Clean Tech Summit. Additional information about the Center can be found at: https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/energy-center/about-the-energy-center/.
A key priority for the Center is the continued growth of Kenan-Flagler's Energy MBA program. Distinctive for its 'full value chain' approach and extensive use of practitioner faculty, the program has grown significantly, with energy-focused students now comprising approximately 15% of the full-time MBA program. The Center supports this growth by recruiting prospective students, providing internship and fellowship opportunities, and assisting graduates in securing positions across the energy industry. As Professor of the Practice, the Director will contribute to teaching in the Energy Concentration and help support student recruitment, engagement, and career placement.
The Energy Center is self-funded and supported by an active Advisory Board, with an established operating surplus and emerging endowment. The Director will be responsible for building on this strong foundation by providing leadership to the Advisory Board, advancing programmatic initiatives, and strengthening research and industry engagement. The Director will also lead fundraising efforts to support the Center's continued growth and long-term sustainability.
