Students will be able to choose whether they would like to present a poster and/or a 3-minute lightning talk. We also invite students with artistic/creative projects and distance students to reach out so we can do our best to accommodate other presentation types.

About ONAMI Graduate Internships in Startups:
ONAMI Graduate Internships in Startups (GIST) Program:  ONAMI will fund internships for qualified grad students or recent graduates at ONAMI portfolio companies for 6-9 months.  This is a great opportunity for a student to determine if the startup environment is an attractive career option. Experience to date has proven the internships beneficial to both company and student.

When a match is found (this is determined by the student and company), ONAMI will enter into an agreement with the company, and the student will become a company employee or contractor.  ONAMI will fund the internship at the rate of $25/hour, paid to the company.  The company will provide the intern with salary (at least $25/hour), supervision, training, materials and mentorship.   (Any additional compensation or benefits are the option of the company.)  ONAMI will fund the company up front for half of the internship.  Brief (non-confidential) monthly reports from the student, as well as a mid-term review by both company and student will determine if the internship will proceed. At that point, ONAMI will fund the remainder of the internship.

We look forward to hearing from students interested in the internships.

The position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry and calls for teaching general chemistry and advanced
physical chemistry at the undergraduate level. Opportunities for teaching electives and
. interdisciplinary courses are also available. The successful candidate will be expected to
establish a vigorous research program in physical chemistry in which undergraduates can
substantively participate. Applicants with expertise in any sub-discipline of experimental
physical chemistry-for example, energy storage, materials chemistry, biophysical chemistry, or
environmental chemistry-are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should submit electronically to https://apply.inteifolio.com/52366 a cover Jetter; a
curriculum vitae; a statement of teaching philosophy, including philosophy of teaching a diverse
student body; a detailed description of research plans; and the contact information for three
confidential references. Review of applications will begin September 14, 2018, and will
continue until the position is filled. Questions may be directed to Professor Anthony Bishop,
chair of the Department of Chemistry, at acbishop@amherst.edu.
