The Utah State Office of Energy Development (OED) has been selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) to be a host organization for two 2025 Energy Innovators Fellowships (EIF). The EIF is a DOE-funded, year-long program with the chance to extend the fellowship for a second year.
OED, the state’s primary office for energy and critical mineral development, will host two fellows: one fellow who will work on energy security and another who will work on transmission. The fellows will be part of teams within OED, ensuring they receive guidance and instruction as they work to solve transmission challenges and obstacles and increase Utah’s energy security. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents over 18 years of age who have earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree by June 30, 2025, are welcome to apply. The fellowship not only provides real-world, hands-on experience dealing with energy-related issues in a state policy office, but also offers a competitive stipend, health insurance and relocation assistance, if needed.
Key features of the Fellowship include:
- Innovate: Help modernize the power system and identify opportunities to increase the state’s energy security.
- Advance: Establish a strong foundation for a career in energy or a related field.
- Engage: High-value learning experience in the state’s premier energy and critical mineral office.
“OED is excited to welcome its second group of fellows,” said Emy Lesofski, Director of the Utah Office of Energy. “Fellowships are mutually beneficial. Through fellowships, our office can dedicate staff resources to a particular area, and the fellows get to conduct research, engage with local leaders and gain valuable experience for their future careers. ”
