The U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Science, Technology, and Policy (STP) Program serves as a next step in the educational and professional development of recent graduates by providing opportunities to participate in policy-related projects at DOE's EERE offices in Washington, D.C. Participants will collaborate with and learn from government scientists, engineers, program managers, and policymakers to gain experience learning about projects that support DOE’s mission to combat the climate crisis, create good clean energy jobs, and promote energy justice. The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (JOET) is an office funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to coordinate and leverage activities across the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Transportation. The mission of the Joint Office is to accelerate an electrified transportation system that is affordable, convenient, equitable, reliable, and safe. The Joint Office will harness a broad range of public and private sector expertise to accelerate transportation electrification, lower emissions, and enable new economic and workforce opportunities to create a resilient and sustainable transportation future by making Electronic Vehicles (EVs) an easy choice for everyone. JOET is seeking dynamic, innovative Fellows for electric vehicles charging research. This Fellowship will last one year, with the opportunity to renew for additional years at the discretion of the sponsoring office. Areas of professional development may include: Learning how to review and make recommendations on the EV charging proposals for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula and Grant Programs as executed by the Federal Highway Administration.
