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 and engineers by providing opportunities to participate in policy-related projects at DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Washington, D.C. Participants will become part of a group of highly-trained scientists and engineers with the education, background, and experience to be part of the workforce that supports the DOE's mission in the future.
The Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), in DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), provides the overall planning, management, and direction necessary for a balanced program of technology research, development, test, analysis, evaluation, and communication, with a focus on providing low-cost, secure, efficient and clean energy technologies to move people and goods across America. Last year, trucks transported 11 billion tons of goods, and people traveled over 3 trillion vehicle-miles. Growing our economy requires moving more people and more goods more efficiently, saving consumers and businesses money on their transportation costs. VTO represents and provides the national leadership in advanced vehicle technologies for the formulation and execution of national energy programs. Innovations across the VTO portfolio of advanced batteries and electrification, co-optimized engines and fuels, materials for light-weighting vehicle structures, and energy efficient mobility systems and technologies are key to a maximum mobility, minimum energy future. In addition, integrated systems analysis provides a critical underpinning of data and deep understanding of the potential impacts of technologies across the VTO portfolio.
VTO works closely with other Departmental offices to monitor, coordinate, and integrate closely related efforts such as those encompassed in the joint energy efforts with other DOE offices (e.g., the Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences). VTO works closely with industry through partnerships that prevent duplication, accelerate progress, and focus DOE research on the most critical technology barriers.
VTO seeks a talented and committed individual who will learn and engage in the following:
• Design and management of original research applying advanced analytical tools, concepts, principles, processes, and procedures to answer transportation-related questions related to vehicle fuel economy and performance, vehicle component technology readiness, technology cost reduction, market penetration, and potential benefits, including fuel savings and greenhouse gas reductions. Vehicle technologies of interest include advanced batteries and electric drive systems, advanced combustion engines and co-optimized engines and fuels, materials for vehicle light-weighting and advanced propulsion, and energy efficient mobility technologies and systems, including connectivity and automation.
• Keeping abreast of the latest engineering technological advances in state-of-the-art applications pertaining to development of new analytical tools and theories and identify functional gaps/opportunities in current analytical tools including but not limited to big data analytics and high performance computing.
• Technical writing and publishing reports documenting the data, analysis, and resulting insights of work/projects performed.
• Collaboration with National Laboratory and headquarters contractors evaluating vehicle fuel economy and performance, technology readiness, technology cost reduction, market penetration, fuel savings and emissions reductions. Integrate these analyses to improve project management and evaluate of the potential benefits of pursuing various energy efficiency strategies (e.g., vehicle electrification, increasing combustion efficiency, and vehicle lightweighting).
• Participation with other members of the Vehicle Technologies Office in the development of related documentation for assigned activities.
Participant Benefits
Selected candidates will receive a stipend as support for their living and other expenses during this appointment. Stipend rates are determined by EERE officials and are based on the candidate’s academic and professional background. Relocation expenses, not to exceed $5,000, incurred in relocating from the participant's current address to Washington, D.C. (if more than 50 miles from the address shown on the application), may be reimbursed. Participants will receive a travel allowance of $10,000 per appointment year to cover travel-related expenses to scientific and professional development activities.
This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents. (LPR).
