The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Science, Technology and Policy (STP) Program serves as a next step in the educational and professional development of scientists and engineers by providing opportunities to participate in policy-related projects at DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Washington, D.C. Participants will become part of a group of highly-trained scientists and engineers with the education, background, and experience to be part of the workforce that supports the DOE's mission in the future.
ORISE is continuing normal program operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. This opportunity will be offered as long as Department of Energy Headquarters is able to complete the onboarding process and ensure a meaningful experience to participants. We encourage you to apply and submit your application as soon as possible. Updates to this opportunity will be provided on this page as needed.
The DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) funds research and development to enable the use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in both transportation and industrial applications (https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/fuel-cell-technologies-office). Research sub-programs within HFTO include Hydrogen Infrastructure, Production, Storage, Fuel Cells, Technology Acceleration, and Systems Analysis. Participants within Infrastructure will interface with all of these sub-programs in cross-cutting tasks (e.g. technical target-setting, drafting office strategy documents, and supporting active project management).
Participants will learn and engage in critical aspects of HFTO's mission, including technical review of projects funded by the Infrastructure program, drafting key documents summarizing program strategy and accomplishments, technoeconomic analysis to inform program target-setting, organization of workshops and conferences to solicit feedback from expert stakeholders on program direction and strategy, identification of priority areas of research for future program activities, and giving presentations at technical conferences and events to solicit stakeholder feedback on program activities. Key areas of R&D within the Infrastructure Program include: materials compatibility, liquefaction, pipelines, tube trailers, and technologies used at hydrogen fueling stations, such as compressors, storage vessels, dispensers, and cryopumps.
