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 the Hosting Facility 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 participant will engage and collaborate with the Weatherization Intergovernmental Programs Office (OWIP) to identify policies and best practices in state and local governments, utilities and public utility commissions, and weatherization agencies that can be shared with and adopted by grantees and stakeholders of OWIP’s energy efficiency and renewable initiatives. The participant should bring a strong interest to develop in providing solutions for low-income communities and other under-served areas. A substantial component of this role is researching, identifying, prioritizing and accelerating the adoption of policies and practices that enhance OWIP grantee efforts and transform markets targeted by OWIP’s programs. Market transformation encompasses the wide variety of activities that encourage the mass acceptance and adoption of the technologies that are the outcome of DOE research and development activities related to energy efficiency and renewable energy.

• Compiling analytical and informational materials, preparing briefings and presentations, and managing key stakeholder interactions.
• Researching and assessing the cost effectiveness of energy policies and market transformation activities to determine feasibility.
• Researching and analyzing data on OWIP programs and providing input on the feasibility of implementing OWIP program and grantee process improvements.
• Coordinating with other DOE offices, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and public and private interest groups’ that are also conducting work on best practices or policies related to OWIP programs.
