Description
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, engineers, and professionals by providing opportunities to participate in policy-related projects at DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) in Washington, D.C. Participants will become part of a group of highly-trained scientists, engineers, and policy experts with the education, background, and experience to support DOE’s mission and transition to a clean energy economy.
The Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) supports a globally competitive U.S. manufacturing sector that accelerates the adoption of innovative materials and manufacturing technologies in support of a clean, decarbonized economy. We do this through our mission: to inspire people and drive innovation to transform materials and manufacturing for America’s energy future. AMMTO’s three subprograms are Energy Technology and Manufacturing Workforce (ETMW), Next Generation Materials and Manufacturing Processes, and Secure and Sustainable Materials. AMMTO is within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) which invests in early-stage research and development, demonstration, and deployment of technologies that show viable pathways for achieving EERE’s five decarbonization priorities for electricity, transport, industry, building, and agriculture. EERE and its “Tech Offices” (Advanced Materials & Manufacturing, Bioenergy, Buildings, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, Geothermal, Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization, Solar Energy, Vehicles, Water Power, and Wind Energy) are overseen by the Undersecretary for Science and Innovation. The Department of Energy has diverse missions is to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. DOE advances critical technologies, accelerates industry adoption, and supports the workforce development needed to ensure U.S. competitiveness and meet the challenge of a net zero carbon grid and economy-wide decarbonization.
AMMTO is seeking a Fellow to engage in AMMTO’s Energy Technology and Manufacturing Workforce (ETMW) Program, where there will also be some opportunity to participate in Battery Workforce activities.
