The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Science, Technology and Policy Program (STP) is designed to provide opportunities to participate in programs, projects, and activities at the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER). The DOE STP provides an opportunity for highly talented scientists and engineers to participate in policy-related to CESER projects in Washington, D.C.
CESER addresses the emerging threats of tomorrow while protecting the reliable flow of energy to Americans today by enhancing the security of U.S. critical energy infrastructure. CESER believes the best way to address both cyber and physical threats to our nation’s infrastructure is through strong, collaborative partnerships with a broad array of stakeholders, including all levels of government, private industry, academia, and states, local governments, tribes, and territories.
CESER works with many energy stakeholders to support energy security planning and emergency preparedness leading to a more resilient energy sector that can mitigate, withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from energy disruptions, regardless of cause. CESER’s State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) Team supports governors’ advisors, state energy offices, public utility commissions, state legislators, emergency managers, and public power utilities through association partnerships and direct coordination.
CESER’s SLTT Team is also excited to advance DOE’s priorities – including combating the climate crisis, creating clean energy jobs, and promoting equity in energy. CESER's SLTT Team is seeking an individual to conduct research, develop resources, and share information related to energy resilience funding as well as other topics.
As a participant on the program, you will be assigned to a policy-related project and will be mentored by senior CESER staff. You will be embedded in CESER, while researching and developing resources to enhance state, local, tribal and territorial government energy security and resilience. You will learn skills and participate in activities critical to CESER's mission and become part of CESER's SLTT Team. Additionally, you will collaborate with CESER staff and with a variety of other Federal agencies, and interact directly with state energy officials and the associations that support them. More specifically, you will learn about and engage in the following activities:
