Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

2015 ITRI-Rosenfeld Postdoctoral Fellowship Open for Applications

August 21, 2014

The 2015 ITRI-Rosenfeld Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity is now open for applications. This fellowship recognizes the contributions of Art Rosenfeld and furthers the mission of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in the advancement of clean energy technologies and reducing adverse energy-related environmental impacts.

The ITRI-Rosenfeld Postdoctoral Fellowship will enable an outstanding recent Ph.D. recipient to conduct innovative research in the energy and environment area. This fellowship has been made possible through a generous gift from the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (ITRI) to EETD.

The fellowship recipient will serve a one-year term appointment with the possibility of a one-year renewal. The fellowship funds will provide 80% of salary and benefits, relocation expenses and an allowance of up to $10,000 per year to cover expenses for professional development activities. The host PI will support the remaining 20% of salary through research project funds.

Fellowship applicants are being asked to identify a potential research mentor by reviewing the EETD research programs on our website. Together, the mentor and applicant will develop a 3-page research proposal to be submitted with the application.

All application materials are due by November 1, 2014.

Additional details about the program are on the ITRI-Rosenfeld Postdoctoral Fellowship website, and if you have further questions, please contact Diane Douglas.
