About this Opportunity
The Science, Technology and Policy (STP) Program through the U.S Department of Energy’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) serves as a next
step in the educational and professional development of scientists and engineers by providing opportunities
to participate in projects at CMEI’s locations in Washington, D.C., and Golden, Colorado.
CMEI’s Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO) funds research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) to enable the use of bioenergy, hydrogen, and fuel
cells in applications across multiple sectors. These technical innovations will support a strong domestic economy and an innovative energy future. Sub-Programs within AFFO include Feedstocks, Production, Infrastructure, Fuel Cells, Systems Development and
Integration, and Analysis, Codes and Standards.
What will I be doing?
AFFO is currently seeking a total of four fellows, one for each of the following Sub-Programs: Fuel Cell Technologies, Production Technologies, Systems Development & Integration, and Analysis, Codes & Standards. This is
a one-year fellowship appointment, with the opportunity to renew for additional years at the discretion of the sponsoring office. Under the guidance of a mentor, learning opportunities include:
-
Reviewing technical projects funded by the Sub-Program, which includes tracking project progress and milestones; reading and analyzing project progress reports and other technical reports; and engaging
project researchers to address technical questions and issues that may arise
-
Drafting documents summarizing program strategy and accomplishments
-
Informing program target-setting through technoeconomic analysis
-
Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders through the organization of workshops and conferences to solicit feedback from experts on program direction and strategy
-
Identifying priority areas of research for future program activities
-
Participating in the review of research proposals
-
Drafting technical papers or articles for publication
-
Giving presentations at technical conferences and events to solicit stakeholder feedback on program activities
