The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's (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 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.

DOE announced the Energy Earth shots Initiative aimed at accelerating breakthroughs of more abundant, affordable, and reliable clean energy solutions within the decade. The first Energy Earthshot, launched June 7, 2021—Hydrogen Shot—seeks to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen by 80% to $1 per 1 kilogram in 1 decade ("111"). Achieving the Hydrogen Shot’s $1/kg cost goal will enable new markets for hydrogen, including energy storage, steel manufacturing, clean ammonia, and heavy-duty trucks.

This will create more clean energy jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and position America to compete in the clean energy market on a global scale. Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) will play a key role in this effort and is launching a Hydrogen Shot Opportunity to recruit diverse talent that can contribute to achieve Hydrogen Shot.

HFTO funds research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies across multiple sectors enabling innovation, a strong domestic economy, and a clean, equitable energy future (https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/fuel-cell-technologies-office). Research programs within HFTO include Hydrogen Infrastructure, Fuel Cell Technologies, Systems Development and Integration, and Systems Analysis. Hydrogen Shot Fellows will engage with one or more programs, or functional areas (i.e. operations, communications, stakeholder engagement, etc.),

within HFTO and focus on activities to tackle key challenges and to make Hydrogen Shot a reality.
HFTO is seeking innovative Fellows to engage in one of five subprograms and functional areas. The Hydrogen Shot Fellowship will last one year, with the opportunity to renew for additional years at the discretion of HFTO.
Details of programmatic areas include:

HFTO's Hydrogen Production Program is looking for a Hydrogen Shot Fellow to focus on clean hydrogen production research and development. Key areas of RDD&D include various electrolysis technologies, as well as solar thermochemical, photoelectrochemical, and biological processes. There is a strong interest in candidates with experience in electrolysis for hydrogen production to contribute to the Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis Program and Hydrogen Shot efforts.

HFTO’s Hydrogen Infrastructure Program is looking for Hydrogen Shot Fellows to focus on hydrogen infrastructure technologies research and development. Key areas of RDD&D include materials compatibility with hydrogen, hydrogen liquefaction, pipelines, tube trailers, physical and materials-based hydrogen storage, and technologies used at hydrogen fueling stations, such as compressors, storage vessels, dispensers, and cryopumps.

Hydrogen Shot Fellows in this program will focus on polymer electrolyte membrane fuel…
