The Alaska Center for Energy and Power is on the cutting edge of applied energy research in Alaska. Since energy solutions are multi-disciplinary in nature, ACEP builds teams across the university system to answer the questions that will drive Alaska’s energy future, providing our students with a big-picture perspective for practical problem solving.

ACEP relies on graduate and undergraduate students to be integral members of the team, working side by side with research faculty and other staff as well as our industry and agency partners.

Our student employees have a unique opportunity to build their skill while solving real problems for Alaska’s communities.

We welcome students from all relevant disciplines to work on our projects. ACEP will not compromise on the quality of students we invite to join our team. Only highly motivated, bright and curious students with an eagerness to learn, a desire to make a difference and a goal to build real life skills will be considered.  

Our future projects will demand students with the following skills, experiences or interests:

• Engineering (electrical, civil, mechanical, etc.)
• Geology
• Natural Resource Science
• Economics and Policy
• Marketing, Communications and Outreach
• Business Management
