Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science is seeking applications for the Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) program. The program aims to bring together world-class teams of scientists to perform energy-relevant basic research with a scope and complexity beyond what is possible in single-investigator or small-group awards. The EFRC program focuses on fundamental scientific research in materials sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, and biosciences. Applicants must address priority research directions and opportunities identified in one or more of the specified reports. The award is expected to be around $3,000,000 to $4,500,000 per year for a 4-year period. Key aspects of the job include:
• Performing energy-relevant basic research
• Addressing scientific challenges in materials sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, and biosciences
• Developing innovative experimental and theoretical tools
• Creating an interdisciplinary workforce of energy-focused scientists
• Collaborating with other institutions and laboratories
