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 Earthshots 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 ("1 1 1"). 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:

Hydrogen Production Program

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.

Summer Opportunity for PhD Student Open Until Jan. 10, 2024

 

We have a virtual summer opportunity described below that is open for students seeking a Ph.D in STEM-related fields.    Project Title Pre-K-12 STEM Education and Outreach in the National Capital Region Project Description The primary project that I will work on for the 2023-2024 Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Scholar Research Assistantship is to design evaluation and learning outcome studies determining AFRL/Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR’s) impact in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Advanced Internship Program (AIP) and Career Ready Internship (CRI) program in partnership with the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE). The AIP program lasts for an entire academic year and is open to high school juniors and seniors in the Washington DC area. The CRI program is similar but offered only over the summer.

During this appointment, my primary duties will be acting as the technical lead on engineering group projects carried out by the student interns, leading professional development events related to outreach and education, and other program activities that support AFRL/AFOSR’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics program (STEM) mission. I will also assist with coordinating AFRL/AFOSR partnerships with other federal agencies with regards to in-person meetings, presentation activities, and administrative work.

Through its participation as a host employer in the OSSE CTE AIP and CRI summer program, the AFRL/AFOSR purposes to achieve 3 goals:

1. To further develop the interests of participating students through exposure to STEM concepts and career pathways in the Department of the Air Force. 2. To increase the scientific literacy of participating students and educators. 3. To increase the self-efficacy of participating students in STEM and its related fields.

These programs, especially the year-long AIP program, are in their infancy and stand to benefit from rigorous evaluation measuring impact and ultimately efficacy in workforce development efforts

The proposed project will evaluate the extent to which the AFRL/AFOSR’s participation in each CTE program reaches these three goals, respectively. Pending IRB approval, semi-structured interviews, pre surveys, and post surveys will be utilized in each cohort of participating students, constituting separate case studies. Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) will serve as the guiding framework under which each student’s experience in the program is examined. This theory’s five tenets, (1) interest development, (2) choice, (3) performance, (4) satisfaction, and (5) well-being align with the goals of the CTE programs within the overarching intentions of the Department of Defense and AFRL/AFOSR.

Upon completion of the proposed project, I will be able to provide an evaluation of AFRL/AFOSR’s participation based on both quantitative and qualitative data with suggestions for improvement designed for implementation in future iterations of each program. Interns will also give formal presentations on their work to AFRL/AFOSR leadership. I am most looking forward to helping the students expand their ideas about what they can accomplish during their pursuit of knowledge in STEM while simultaneously collecting learning and education anecdotes to contribute to my dissertation project.
