The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Science, Technology and Policy Program provides opportunities for postgraduates and faculty to participate in programs, projects, and activities at the Department. Fellows will receive hands-on experience that provides an understanding of the mission, operations, and culture of the DOE. As a result, fellows will gain insight into the federal government's role in energy technology policies; apply their scientific, policy, and technical knowledge to develop solutions to issues important to the DOE, and continue their education in areas that support the DOE mission, either in a technical or policy-related role. The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) seeks motivated students, postgraduates, and faculty to participate in projects at the forefront of the clean energy transition through a 12-month fellowship. FECM plays a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis by minimizing the impacts of fossil energy and key industrial processes to achieve net-zero emissions across the United States economy. The office works to ensure the nation’s energy security, build sustainable supply chains, and significantly accelerate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Office of Carbon Management's research priorities include: point source carbon capture, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal, carbon dioxide conversion into products, carbon transport and storage; hydrogen production and use coupled with carbon management; and policy, analysis, and engagement activities. These priorities are critical to reducing CO 2 emissions from the power and industrial sectors, as well as hard-to-decarbonize industrial sectors. The Office of Resource Sustainability focuses on reducing emissions from natural gas supply, delivery, and storage infrastructure, and developing technologies that allow for the use of natural gas resources while meeting climate goals. Additionally, it aims to transition to a hydrogen economy and monitor and reduce methane emissions from fossil fuel infrastructure. The Office of Operations drives the development of FECM's strategic vision and engagement strategies, applying artificial intelligence (AI) to advance R&D initiatives, streamline processes, and enhance decision-making support. Participant Benefits Gain insight into the Federal government's role in clean energy technology research and development. Contribute to projects related to energy and climate change policies by applying scientific and technical knowledge. Continue education and involvement in areas that support the DOE mission. Become part of a team and be mentored by highly trained staff supporting carbon management technologies.
