The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 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 Policy (OP) 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.
About the Office of Policy
The OP supports the Secretary of Energy and Undersecretary of Science and Energy on domestic energy and climate policy issues. They provide analysis to directly inform real-world policymaking by the Department of Energy, the White House, and Capitol Hill. That work spans everything from identifying new concepts to providing technical assistance on draft policy. They rely heavily on data and modeling, both their own and work by a variety of stakeholders. Their work spans technology analysis, infrastructure deployment, clean energy jobs, and state and local activity. They provide expertise in electricity systems, buildings and industry, mobility, and all parts of the transition to a clean energy economy for all.
Appointment Expectations
As an ORISE participant, you will conduct research analysis in support of the OP and will assist current OP staff with policy analysis projects and assignments in one or more of the following focus areas:
Assignments will include economic, technical, and policy analyses for issues related to energy markets, including modeling assessments. You will learn by assisting with technical and economic analyses, report writing, presentation materials, spreadsheet analyses, briefing papers, background reports, and other written and oral presentation materials. You will also assist with the preparation of databases, information retrieval, and web searches.
Participant Benefits
Participants will receive a stipend to be determined by OP. Stipends are typically based on the participant's academic standing, discipline, experience, and research facility location. OP may authorize a supplemental stipend to offset the costs of health insurance. Participants are eligible to purchase health insurance plans offered through ORISE. Participants may receive an allowance for education and/or scientific activities as approved by OP.
Appointment Location
Washington, D.C.
Anticipated start date
OP is ready to make appointments immediately. Exact start dates will be determined at the time of selection and in coordination with the selected candidates. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis and appointments will be offered as qualified candidates are identified.
Appointment Length
The appointment will initially be for one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of OP and is contingent on the availability of funds.
Level of Participation
The appointment is full-time based on 40-hours a week.
Nature of the Appointment
Participants will not enter into an employee/employer relationship with ORISE, ORAU, the DOE, or any other office or agency. Instead, the participant will be affiliated with ORISE for the administration of the appointment through the ORISE appointment letter and Terms of Appointment.
Applicants must have a bachelors in an engineering, economics, natural sciences, or public policy discipline, and an advanced degree in an energy-related application of one of these disciplines by the anticipated start date.
