The National Energy Technology Laboratory's (NETL's) record of success has been built on understanding the future of energy and the technologies required to make that future possible. We’ve long touted our success in developing the technologies that took on acid rain in the 1970s and mercury in the early 2000s. More recently, NETL has a leading role in President Biden’s ambitious climate goals, including a carbon emission-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero economy by 2050.
Program Goals
The NETL Faculty Research Program (FRP) offers qualified academic faculty an opportunity to collaborate with NETL principal investigators on research that is mutually beneficial to NETL and the selected applicant at state-of-the-art NETL facilities. While typical appointments are part-time, some appointments are offered on a full-time basis during the summer or as a sabbatical. Prior to the appointment, the NETL principal investigator and selected applicant will define the scope of research and schedule the appointment period. Appointment periods range from one month to more than one year. Funding varies and is awarded based upon the participant's institutional salary. Faculty members are expected to elevate the collaboration with NETL by supporting connections with students at their home institution, in addition to the research project.
Connecting Students with NETL
The collaboration between the selected faculty member and NETL will include connecting their academic institution and students with NETL. Student connections may be fostered through activities such as, but not limited to, the following:
Research Project
Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), this posting seeks a faculty collaborator to engage in projects with the Research Innovation Center (RIC) at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in the area of hybrid resilient energy systems under the mentorship of David Tucker. This project will be hosted by the NETL Morgantown, West Virginia campus.
The Consortium for Hybrid Resilient Energy Systems (CHRES) focuses on providing educational opportunities for Hispanic students in STEM fields to gain hands-on experience at a national lab in research focusing on the hybrid power systems of the future. This project will involve controls research and implementation with both undergraduate and graduate student interns with an emphasis on the educational process and improving the student experience with the goal increasing diversity in the federal workforce, the nuclear enterprise, and the energy sector in general.
The faculty member will have the opportunity to collaborate with NETL researchers throughout the mentoring process to gain a better understanding of the methodology used to mentor students at the national lab in contrast to intern experience at the university. The faculty member will also have the opportunity to test novel hybrid control strategies using a commercial MicroNet control system from Woodward Industrial Controls.
Stipend: The selected faculty participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with their institutional salary.
Deliverables: To document the effectiveness of the program, participants are required to submit a pre-appointment and post-appointment survey, as well as a reflection on their appointment experience when they renew or end their appointment.
