The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO) is looking for a diverse pool of subject matter experts to review federal funding applications. You could be exactly who we are looking for!
AFFO, merging legacy efforts from the Bioenergy Technologies Office and the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Office under one office, is looking for reviewers with knowledge and expertise in—but not limited to—the following areas:
- Biomanufacturing/Biotechnology
- Biochemistry
- Thermochemistry (gasification and pyrolysis processes)
- Heterogeneous catalysis
- Electrocatalysis
- Polymers
- Reaction Engineering
The review period follows a fixed timeline, but reviewers may complete their work on a flexible day-to-day schedule. To be considered as a reviewer for the recently announced Accelerating Scale-up and Pre-piloting of Emerging Chemical Technologies (ASPECT) funding opportunity, email your resume or CV to AskAFFO@doe.gov, preferably by November 18, 2026. In the subject line, include “ASPECT reviewer” followed by your primary area of expertise so your application can be routed appropriately. For example: “ASPECT reviewer – Biochemistry.”
