The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Science, Technology and Policy (STP) Program is designed to provide opportunities for postgraduates to participate in programs, projects, and activities at the Office of International Affairs. You will receive hands-on experience that provides you with an understanding of the mission, operations, and culture of DOE. As a result, you will gain deep insight into the federal government's role in the creation and implementation of global energy policies; apply your scientific and technical knowledge to the development of solutions to issues of importance to the DOE and its partner countries, and continue your education and involvement in areas that support the DOE mission.
What will I be doing?
With the guidance of a mentor, you will be able to utilize your experience, knowledge, and education in a fast-paced environment to contribute to the Office of International Affairs' implementation of energy- and climate-focused technology, policy, and regulatory engagement with the full spectrum of European economies. Your experience will give you an in-depth look into the Western Balkans/Eastern Europe. In collaboration with the Department of Energy, our National Labs, the State Department and other government agencies, you will be trained and learn alongside highly experienced scientists, engineers, and business professionals and be involved in projects that support the mission of the Department of Energy and with U.S. inter-agency representatives, foreign governments, the private sector, and civil society. You will partner with a team of subject matter experts in European energy affairs, take part in high-profile activities and events, and gain windows into the energy policymaking process.
Every day will be different and will include researching and drafting documents on Western Balkan countries, supporting the development of exciting and interactive learning opportunities with foreign partners, and participating in bilateral meetings where you will hear directly from senior foreign officials and corporates on the challenges and opportunities for clean energy collaboration. You will inform the structure of innovative technical assistance programs designed to provide rapid response to partner country needs in an effort to help them make fast progress towards their climate goals. You will have the opportunity to conduct research that informs policy and program development, learn to draft memos for senior U.S. government leaders, and identify and assess policy options. You will help build coalitions and collaborate with partners to mobilize resources that lead to real-world change. We are looking for candidates that take initiative, are focused on results rather than activities, perform well in teams and independently, and have a great attitude. You will walk away from your fellowship knowing how to drive impact in a fast-paced environment, quickly learning and applying new skills and knowledge that make you marketable in any environment.
Office of International Affairs
The Office of International Affairs (IA) serves as the primary policy advisor to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary on global energy affairs. IA plays a leading role in determining the Department’s strategy and priorities for international clean energy action, as well as mobilizing intra-departmental, National Lab and inter-agency technical support to help partner countries and institutions decarbonize and diversify their energy systems. The Office of European and Eurasian Affairs leads the Department's energy policy engagement with partner governments across the continent, and runs bilateral and multilateral programs like the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy and Climate Cooperation (P-TECC), the US-EU Energy Council, and more. The Office's work is particularly focused on Europe's transition away from dependence on Russian sources of energy, and the movement towards a net-zero energy future.
