About the Office of Policy

The Office of Policy (OP) supports the Secretary of Energy and the entire Department of Energy (DOE), providing analysis on domestic energy policy. Its work spans technology policy, infrastructure policy, state, local, tribal, and territorial policy, and energy jobs. It provides expertise in electricity systems, permitting, buildings and industry, mobility and fuels, energy security, supply chains, and the energy system. Working in coordination with the White House, Capitol Hill, other federal agencies, and local stakeholders, the Office of Policy aims to facilitate an affordable, reliable, and secure energy economy.

What will I be doing?

During your ORISE fellowship, you will receive guidance from a mentor and will learn about conducting research analysis within OP. You will engage with current OP staff on policy analysis projects and assignments in one of the following focus areas:

• Power Sector: Contribute to analysis and policy design to support affordable, reliable electricity, including on efficient power markets that can meet the needs of the U.S. economy, such as powering AI data centers and new manufacturing.

  • Conduct in-depth research and analyses for comprehensive and long-term energy policy planning and strategy development on domestic production of processed critical minerals (oxides, oxalates, salts, and metals) including rare earth elements and their derivative products.
  
  
  
  


• Energy Jobs: Provide research on and support initiatives to ensure the U.S. has the workforce needed to meet the needs of the evolving U.S. energy sector and create employment opportunities for American workers.
