New US fellowships promote clean-energy studies

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched two new fellowship programs designed to attract the country’s best and brightest scientific minds to work on advanced clean-energy technologies.

The two fellowship programs — the Postdoctoral Fellowships Program and the SunShot Initiative Fellowships Program — will prepare budding scientists and engineers for careers in clean energy. The programs are aimed at increasing US economic competitiveness and support job growth by promoting science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

Under the Postdoctoral Fellowships Program, DOE is seeking up to 20 postdoctoral fellows whose academic careers have focused on specific topics in the following technology areas: building efficiency, industrial efficiency, vehicles, fuel cells, biomass, geothermal, solar energy, and wind or water power. The Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will support research and development of breakthrough technologies over a two-year period.
