The NSD is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to participate in the development and implementation of gas chromatographic techniques for the detection of hydrogen isotopes and impurities.  The main goal of the program is to refine the current techniques and build a prototype of a gas chromatograph for the desired application.  In this role, the Postdoctoral Research Associate will team with Scientists, Engineers, and Technologists within Savannah River National Laboratory.

The selected candidate will be involved in a team composed of scientists and engineers identifying potential opportunities to refine analytical methods mostly focused on gas chromatographic techniques.  The work will include synthesis of materials and surface characterization.  Development and validation of analytical methods is also needed.  The work might require collaborative efforts with other groups within SRNL.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Interpretation of data derived from experiments,
• Participating in and informing the optimization of experimental conditions, and
• Design appropriate setup and material(s) to obtain desired analytical separations.

Eligible applicants must:

• Be a US Citizen,
• Have earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry (preferably), Chemical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering; from an accredited university or college within the last 60 months, and
• Be capable of obtaining a security clearance.

Successful candidates will have:

• Strong knowledge and hands on experience in gas chromatography,
• Thorough knowledge on materials synthesis and characterization methods,
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment or on time-sensitive projects,
• Experience with complex data analysis, and
• Publication record on related topics.

It is desirable for the candidate to have:

• Knowledge on MEMS.

Dr. Tony Chen, director of the CEMN at PSU asked me to reach out to local universities and update them about the upcoming Physical Electronics Conference (PEC) conference for 2017.   We have filled all the exhibit tables and we are looking forward to all the great exhibits.  I wanted to let you know we are now offering special sponsorship levels to Oregon Universities.

 

I have attached sponsorship information to this email.  The registration fee for faculty is $425 and student registration is $240.  There are two options for university sponsorship that offer great value:

 

1) Basic Level: $1000 includes logo placement on website and all promotional material as well as complimentary registration for (1) faculty and (2) students.

2) Premium Level: $1500 includes logo placement on website and all promotional material as well as complimentary registration for (2) faculty and (unlimited) students.

 

This is will be the second time this conference will be held in Oregon, where previously The University of Oregon hosted back in 1997.  It would be great if we could get your sponsorship and attendance for this conference at Portland State University and support the growing Oregon science community. Please visit the website for more conference details.  I will try calling you again to discuss conference details and sponsorship and see if there are any questions.

Please mark your calendars for CUE (Celebrating Undergraduate Excellence) to be held on Friday May 19, 11.00 AM to 2.00 PM, in the MU Horizon Room to show support to OSU undergraduates.

Please also pass this message and the attached flyer to students that you mentor/advise, and encourage them to participate.

CUE, an undergraduate poster event sponsored by the Division of Undergraduate Studies, provides undergraduates with an excellent opportunity to showcase their research or creative activity at OSU. Details at: http://communications.oregonstate.edu/events/cue

http://communications.oregonstate.edu/events/cue

Undergraduates that participate in CUE 2017 may also be eligible to receive a “Research Fellow” or “Arts Fellow” notation on their transcript, and wear a blue honor cord during commencement!

All OSU undergrads are eligible to present solo or group projects that are in progress or have already been completed.

All URISC and 2016 URSA Engage awardees are expected to present their results at CUE.

Students interested in participating in CUE have to register. The deadline for registering is Monday May 8 at 5:00 PM.

 

Thanks,
