THE POSITION

The Governor's Science and Technology Fellowship is seeking talented, passionate individuals who want to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and have a drive to help make Pennsylvania a better place to live.

This fellowship is open to recent college graduates with advanced degrees and will strengthen the Commonwealth's workforce as the Shapiro Administration works to encourage more Pennsylvanians to pursue public service.

The Governor's Science and Technology Fellowship is a one-year program designed to attract master's or doctorate-level candidates into STEM careers in state agencies. Throughout the program, fellows will participate in leadership development training and have opportunities to attend events with the private and public sector leaders. After completing the fellowship, participants may be offered a permanent position with a state agency. The program allows aspiring professionals to serve with the state's top executive leaders.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

Fellows will have the opportunity to improve the overall effectiveness of state government by serving as a key member of an agency and working on one of thirteen projects that align with Governor Shapiro's priorities. Please review the projects in the Supplemental Questions Section and select the top three projects for which you are interested. (Please note that this is to survey your interest and does not guarantee final placement in your preferred agency or project.)

Agriculture - Commonwealth-wide Agriculture Innovation Asset Map:

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) and the State Conservation Commission (SCC) are tasked with topics that have a direct impact on the well-being of the Commonwealth's people, natural resources, and businesses. As these commitments continue to grow in both scope and complexity, there is a significant need to better understand how innovation and technology can support our efforts. With the appointment of the first Director of Conservation and Innovation in 2023 and the announcement of a $10 million Agriculture Innovation Fund in 2024, the department will need to scale quickly to meet a growing demand for innovation and technology support (both internally and externally). Key functions include:
  • Creating a Commonwealth-wide Agriculture Innovation Asset Map;
  • Assisting the director in the creation of an Agriculture Innovation Plan;
  • Supporting the director in the creation of an Annual Agriculture Innovation Report; and
  • Possessing a deep understanding of agricultural challenges and opportunities.

Corrections (DOC) - I.D.E.A. (Innovate, Develop, Experiment, Adapt) Evaluation of Costs and Benefits:
The Department of Corrections created an innovation initiative called I.D.E.A. ("Innovate, Develop, Experiment, Adapt"). All DOC staff are invited to submit ideas for improving efficiency, effectiveness, or cost-savings in areas such as recidivism reduction, in-prison violence reduction, restrictive housing reduction, and staff wellness. Since the beginning of the I.D.E.A. initiative several hundred proposals have been submitted by staff for improvements. The goal of this initiative is to scientifically test ideas for improvement. To date, there have been more ideas than the department has the capacity to evaluate. Additionally, the DOC develops an annual program evaluation agenda of programs, policies, and practices that the department operates and would like to evaluate to determine effectiveness. There have similarly been more programs, policies, and practices of interest to the department for evaluation than there has been the capacity to evaluate.

The primary goal of this project is to conduct a rigorous and scientific evaluation of costs and benefits associated with proposed ideas for operational changes and in the objective evaluation of existing programs. Successful outcomes of the fellowship would include:
  • Comprehensively evaluating six Department programs, utilizing rigorous scientific methodologies;
  • Determining whether evaluated programs are achieving their stated purposes;
  • Completing a cost-benefit analysis of evaluated programs to determine whether there is a return on the investment of funds and staff resources allocated to the program;
  • Identifying best practices that promote recidivism reduction, reductions in carceral violence, reduce the use of restrictive housing, and promote staff wellness; and
  • Promoting the I.D.E.A initiative by providing the capacity to analyze proposals; further cementing the Department as a "learning organization" that embraces evidence-based practices.

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) - Data Interpretation of Ores and Host Rocks to Determine Potential for Commercial Extraction:
Pennsylvania's connection to iron began in 1716, with the first commercial development for extraction and smelting of iron from geologic ores. This iron fueled American industry and continued until the 1970s closure of the last two major iron mines, Cornwall and Grace, when they became uneconomical to sustain. With the nation's new push for "critical minerals", societally valuable materials that are currently difficult to source within the United States, Pennsylvania is now pursuing scientific research and mineral exploration toward finding critical mineral sources. Iron ores and the geologic units that host them contain more than just iron. At Cornwall and Grace, highly elevated amounts of cobalt were extracted as a by-product. In other iron-bearing geologic units, there may be elevated and economical amounts of the critical minerals; vanadium; chromium; manganese; cobalt; and nickel.

Associated with three hundred years of iron mining operations, a mysterious dark rock is found widely distributed throughout Pennsylvania. Curious Pennsylvanians discover these fragments while enjoying our wilderness and are immediately drawn to their starkly contrasting appearance. Is it a meteorite? Or is it something else? DCNR and its Bureau of Geological Survey (BGS) handle many public inquiries into the nature of these rocks - glassy slags formed as concentrated waste products from the iron smelting process. Although this material has historical value and is unlikely to be an economical source of critical minerals, it is produced from the non-iron waste of hundreds to thousands of pounds of ore, concentrating critical minerals and allowing scientists to better understand the potential for the original geologic ore to contain certain minerals.
This project seeks to understand the chemistry of the iron ores, their slags, and their host rocks, so we gain more information into what "critical minerals" are present. These slags captivate those who are fortunate to find them in our public spaces outdoors; we will take advantage of that connection by generating new educational materials for broad audiences based on results from our scientific research.

The fellow selected for this project would, with appropriate permissions, collect representative examples of slag from historical furnaces, such as those at Greenwood Furnace, Pine Grove Furnace, and French Creek State Parks, and samples of representative iron ores and other host rocks. A full geochemistry suite will be collected on these samples to assess chemical enrichment. As geologic units are laterally extensive, the fellow will use the data to interpret whether ores and the host rocks have the potential for commercial extraction outside protected state lands. A report of findings will be completed by the fellow for publication with the DCNR BGS. From these results, the fellow will generate educational materials introducing slag and critical minerals and their research findings to a broader audience, which may include Trail of Geology publications, State Park interpretive signage, and public talks with DCNR, the State Museum, or other suitable Commonwealth venues. A successful outcome will be the completion of these tasks by the completion of the fellowship.

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) - Comprehensive Program Assessment of the new Grant Equity Program:
BRC is undertaking a comprehensive program assessment and development effort for our new Grant Equity Program. We need a geography and/or geo-environmental science person to help lead the development of the program. A strong candidate will have experience in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Additional education in a social science field is also preferred. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experience is needed to help with the grant program assessment and the development of strategies and actions. A candidate with strong communication skills as well is strongly desirable. Project goals include:
  • Assess the current state of the agency's grant equity by overlaying historical grant investment information on a variety of equity mapping tools/data;
  • Identify opportunities to engage and better serve underserved communities;
  • Assist with the development of an overall approach, strategies, and actions to advance the new grant equity program; and
  • Assist with a standalone water access for recreation analysis as part of the Bureau's climate mitigation work.
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - Apply for and Manage Funding Opportunities in Collaboration with DEP's Energy Programs Office (EPO):
To support DEP's Energy Programs Office (EPO) in pursuing federal grid resilience funding opportunities, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) seeks to hire a Fellow who can assist in grant writing, program administration, and private sector stakeholder engagement. EPO, as the State Energy Office, is required to engage in electric grid transmission planning. This also involves policy work related to supporting grid improvements and technology development to enable renewables and distributed energy resources to reduce greenhouse emissions, increase resilience, and support environmental justice communities.

In order to capitalize on funding opportunities available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the EPO has been and must continue applying to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant programs for grid innovation projects promoting energy resilience across the commonwealth. To this end, EPO developed the Grid Resiliency Grant program with the first funding received from the Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grant program and is evaluating applications submitted by electricity distribution companies for the first round. EPO will receive three additional rounds of funding and will continue to manage the program for the next five to ten years. EPO also submitted a concept paper to the Transmission Siting and Economic Development Program (TSED) funding opportunity and is pursuing $50 million in competitive funding to implement an Agriculture Microgrid Pilot Program (AMPP) in York County, an area identified by PJM interconnection as needing new transmission in the near term. The U.S. Department of Energy encouraged EPO to submit a full application to TSED by April 5, 2024.
EPO submitted a concept paper for the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) with PA electric distribution companies (EDCs) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) as a consortium. The consortium's Electrify PA - Information and Communications Grid Technology (EPIC Grid) proposes a formula grant program for participating EDCs, to be overseen by an interdisciplinary steering committee, which will enable a suite of information and communication technology (ICT) to support the grid. The proposal seeks $250 million from DOE and requires a 100% cost share from EDCs to create a $500 million program.
EPO will continue to seek additional funding opportunities from DOE and will need to build out staff support to pursue and manage existing and new programs. If approved by the Governor's Office, the Fellow will assist in applying for and managing these funding opportunities in collaboration with EPO and its partners/sub-applicants. Project goals include:
  • Expanding the number and diversity of available funding programs to support a robust energy system and resilient grid across Pennsylvania;
  • Efficiently managing programs to implement real-world projects faster to support greater energy security and affordability and the adoption of innovative energy technologies in Pennsylvania, as well as disburse funding to sub-grantees more efficiently;
  • Forming and maintaining relationships with electric distribution companies, rural cooperatives, fuel sector partners, and energy communities that foster resilience and support energy security.
Ultimately, through supporting DEP's application to and administration of DOE grant programs, the Fellow will support the transformation and improved resilience of Pennsylvania's electric grid using new and innovative technologies while promoting the Commonwealth's energy security and independence.

Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - Collect Data and Create Best Practices to Reduce Food Waste and Maximize Diversion from Disposal:
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was awarded a $511,502 Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). DEP is working with the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center (PARMC) to divert food waste within the commonwealth to food recovery (charitable organizations), composting operations, and anaerobic digestors (in the event the food is inedible).
DEP goals are to maximize waste reduction, expand the current food network, promote alternative energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable practices. The data collected will demonstrate the reductions and redirection of materials to higher more environmentally preferable uses. The creation of best management practices to reduce food waste and maximize diversion from disposal will ensure the long-term success of this effort.

Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - Improve the Pennsylvania Environmental Justice Mapping and Screening Tool (PennEnviroScreen):
The Department is focused on incorporating a meaningful community engagement process to ensure an inclusive community voice around its creation. Initial public input has pointed DEP towards the need to include more factors and a better rationale in the identification of areas where the Environmental Justice Policy will be implemented which led to the PennEnviroScreen tool. Comments gathered during public meetings suggested that this policy be expanded to consider other demographic, environmental, and health factors where possible. It also identified ways in which the tool could be used in other aspects of the work of DEP. Project goals include:
  • Updating and improving the Pennsylvania Environmental Justice Mapping and Screening Tool (PennEnviroScreen);
  • Working with OEJ and DEP staff to understand data analysis needs;
  • Identifying ways and tools to clearly and succinctly express data through stories, maps, reports, and other methods;
  • Developing ways to make data accessible to those outside the agency through interactive maps, handouts, briefings, and more;
  • Looking to federal and state models and academic literature for how inspections and enforcement are prioritized and conducted; and
  • Designing a model to identify ways that EJ Areas should be prioritized in the inspection process.
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - Update Tables 5A and 5B in the Chapter 250 regulations:
Tables 5A and 5B in the Chapter 250 regulations contain physical and toxicological characteristics of the constituents for which DEP calculates medium-specific concentrations (MSCs). These MSCs are used as cleanup values for development projects in PA that use the remediation framework of Act 2 of 1995. Most of the information in Tables 5A and 5B has not been updated since the inception of the program nearly 30 years ago.
The primary goal is to research and update the information in Tables 5A and 5B. A secondary goal is to develop a process in which this information can be efficiently updated more frequently. This project will help DEP and the Commonwealth provide the most current and accurate chemical and toxicological information available to calculate the cleanup standards used to remediate contaminated properties in PA. The updated tables will be incorporated into the Chapter 250 regulations via rulemaking. The Remediation Standards Section Chief and the Land Recycling Program Manager will be accountable for ensuring the work of the fellow is implemented. Collaboration will be necessary with the Remediation Standards Section Chief and the Land Recycling Program Manager to ensure the project stays on track and that milestones are met. Collaboration with other technical staff within the agency will also be necessary. Most of the work will be performed independently with periodic reporting of work status to the Remediation Standards Section Chief. The greatest impact will be to the Land Recycling Program, but other programs impacted by this project include Storage Tanks, Site Remediation, the Bureau of Waste Management, and the Oil and Gas Program. Impacts include more effective protection of human health and the environment using the most current science. This also helps foster a sense of trust and security with the citizens of the Commonwealth of PA.

Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - Review of Proposed Dam Modifications, Rehabilitation Projects, and Dam Removals:
The Dam Safety Program provides a valuable public service by ensuring the safe operation of Pennsylvania's nearly 1,400 regulated dams, including 740 high-hazard dams. The fellow would gain real-world working experience in engineering principles and practices related to the safe operation of dams under a state regulatory program. The fellow would also be exposed to design flaws that have been known to lead to dam failures which can have a catastrophic and adverse impact to public health, safety, and the environment, including economics, infrastructure, public inconvenience, human health, and even fatalities. The program ensures the safe operation of dams through its regulatory standards, which may be the oldest in the country originating in 1907. The incumbent would also be afforded access to training programs and membership in the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, which is a valuable resource and provides a wealth of information to any civil engineering candidate working in government or private industry across the country.
The fellow will learn about DEP's Dam Safety regulatory program and assist with technical reviews of the engineering aspects of dam structures and their appurtenant works. The fellow will assist with reviews of proposed dam modifications, rehabilitation projects, and dam removals, learn to review incremental dam breach analyses, hydrology & hydraulics analyses, geotechnical and stability analyses, and perform journey-level engineering work.

Department of Human Services (DHS) - Influence the Broader Public Health System to Address Behavioral Health Issues:
The impact of untreated behavioral health (BH) conditions on individuals' lives and the cost of health care delivery in the United States is staggering. Persons with BH needs are more likely to have chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke than those without BH needs, and those individuals are more likely to use hospitalization and emergency room treatment. Prevention, early detection, and treatment of BH conditions can lead to improved physical and community health. Incorporating behavioral health development and promotion into community and public health prevention strategies and activities (and vice versa) can make health promotion more effective. It can help prevent other public health issues such as teen pregnancy, community and interpersonal violence, tobacco use, and homelessness. Integration can also help with workforce issues through whole-person care, seeing better outcomes, and supporting cross-practitioner collaboration. DHS continues to prioritize behavioral and physical health integration (BH-PH integration) through legislative efforts and participation in federal and state-run pilots. Still, staff workloads limit our ability to perform comprehensive research, policy design, and evaluation of current and proposed efforts. For true innovation to flourish in this space, DHS requires a program office-based individual to focus exclusively on the project. Project goals include:
  • Engaging with statewide partners and other stakeholders to influence the broader public health system to address behavioral health issues and to set specific targets for this set of activities in the areas of whole-person care, increased health outcomes, care continuance, and workforce innovation;
  • Fostering integration between behavioral health care and the public health care system to include government, private, nonprofit, and faith-based entities providing health, behavioral health, and social services;
  • Collaborating on developing a comprehensive strategy to effectively finance behavioral health services and other social services that contribute to the overall health of the individual and communities; and
  • Developing a process for managing existing BH-PH integration programs cross-program office.
Department of Human Services (DHS) - Provide DHS Programs with Data Tools and Reports:
The Department of Human Services (DHS) serves 3.7 million individuals in the Commonwealth. The services provided are critical to many vulnerable populations. This includes support for children, persons with disabilities, and older Pennsylvanians. Services include physical/behavioral health, early learning programs, community-based programs for persons with disabilities, employment and training, and access to food and housing. DHS uses data, in a limited capacity, to:
  • Describe the demographics of people receiving services from our programs;
  • Identify any disparities in how services are received, or outcomes obtained by certain demographics such as race, gender, age or geographic area;
  • Identify program effectiveness;
  • Identify program improvement;
  • Identify unmet needs for certain services; and
  • Help project future needs.
With this fellowship, we want a person with a strong data analytics background to improve our ability to use data for the items identified above. This will be accomplished through the creation of data reports, data dashboards, or other data tools that can be used by staff to better understand how our programs are operating, where we are seeing success, opportunities for program improvement, and where we have unmet needs for our services. Data to be used in this area will not just be program-specific data internal to DHS but also bringing in external data related to social determinants of health from other available data sources (i.e. Census, American Community Survey). Project goals include:
  • Providing DHS program staff with data tools and reports that will help them manage their program better; and
  • Developing external data dashboards or reports that will help demonstrate to the General Assembly and public how DHS programs are improving people's lives.
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) - Execute and Manage Contracts Between PennDOT and the Industry Professionals to Deliver Highway Construction Curriculum into Schools:
Governor Shapiro issued a workforce development executive order which created the Commonwealth Workforce Transformation Program (CWTP) which has a goal of creating 10,000 jobs in five years. As part of this program, PennDOT has been charged with creating 3,750 new jobs and therefore would like to deploy a program to promote highway construction curriculum in high schools, vocational-technical schools, and community colleges as a workforce development and recruiting tool. The curriculum would include PennDOT's 12 construction inspection course modules to educate students and allow them to meet the minimum requirements of a Technical Assistant (focused on construction fields) or Transportation Construction Inspector upon completion. PennDOT would like a graduate-level fellow to manage the deployment of this program including executing trainer contracts, coordinating with the consultants who are developing the curriculum, and building working relationships with participating schools.
Identify and build relationships with schools interested in participating. Advertise, execute, and manage contracts between PennDOT and industry professionals to deliver highway construction curriculum to schools. Redeploy PennDOT's AASHTO partnership Trac n' Rides program, which is a program that provides hands-on activities to grades K-12 students and introduces and encourages them to pursue transportation and civil engineering careers. Deploy and maintain a webpage on PennDOT's website that highlights CWTP efforts and successes.
