This position is a Technology Manager for the Renewable Carbon Resources (RCR) subprogram of the Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO). The RCR subprogram works with public and private partners to develop innovative technologies and conduct crosscutting analyses that can sustainably expand the availability and use of renewable carbon resources for the production of biofuels and renewable chemicals and materials in the United States. Renewable carbon resources include agricultural and forestry residues such as corn stover and forest thinning, purpose-grown energy crops such as microalgae, macroalgae, switchgrass, shrub willow, pennycress, and wastes streams such as municipal solid wastes, and sludges. This work will help researchers realize the potential of the domestic bioeconomy capable of sustainably producing and using a billion tons of renewable carbon resources per year. The project portfolio will include projects from academia, DOE National Laboratories, and industry. As a member of the RCR team, the incumbent will help to execute the multi-year R&D vision and key funding opportunities to achieve subprogram and BETO goals. BETO is looking for a dynamic, innovative team member whose responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the RCR Program Manager in developing long-term goals and objectives, and establishing specific requirements and schedules for conducting research and analysis leading to cost effective, sustainable production and mobilization of renewable carbon resources for use in biofuel, bioproduct, or carbon drawdown applications.
• Developing topics for potential inclusion in annual calls for proposals, reviewing proposals, and supporting technology review activities
• Proactively managing projects for success
• Preparing and presenting briefing materials
• Preparing technical program documents
