Greetings, ONAMI Member Researchers.
We would like to inform you of four internships that may be of interest to your students.  All are part of the ONAMI Graduate Internships in Startups program.  The internships are with Energy Storage Systems (ESS Tech, Inc.), Valliscor, LLC., Abom, Inc., and Cascade ProDrug. 
The ONAMI Graduate Internships are open to graduate students who are currently working with ONAMI Member Researchers, or who have completed their MS or PhD within the last year.  The position descriptions for allof theinternships are attached. Please share these opportunities with your students who may be interested and qualified.
Interested students should send their resume and cover letter to:
·        ESS Tech, Inc., to Julia Song, CTO,Julia.Song@EnergyStorageSystems.com
·        Abom, Inc. to Don Megrath,don@abom.com
·        Valliscor, LLC to Rich Carter, co-founder and CEO,rich.carter@valliscor.com
·        Cascade ProDrug to Augie Sick,  ajsick@comcast.net

Pleasecopy Cindy Dahl (cdahl@onami.us)on submissions.
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.
