Summer 2017 - Aramaco - Cambridge, MA and several locations

Industrial summer job opportunity with Aramco in  the Cambridge MA area (see attached application form). The job will provide experience in an industrial research environment. Aramco is a major petrochemicals company. One of our PhD alums passed this along and has explicitly stated that they are looking for students pursuing a chemistry BS.
Dr. Steven Hayden (GT PhD alum), who is a Senior Research Scientist at ASC, shared the 
position.

Note: The official call for students is general for the company as a whole. The students that Dr. Hayden is looking for will be involved in research efforts with the Advanced Materials Team at the Aramco Research Center in Cambridge, MA. 

ASC is looking primarily for chemists and chemical engineers who want experience with an industrial research setting. Per Dr. Hayden, one of the other attractive aspects is that they are currently publishing quite a bit, so it is possible (not guaranteed, and depending on the level of the student’s involvement) for them to get paper authorship out of the experience. 

Dr. Hayden’s research thrusts are in catalysis (nanosynthesis, characterization, testing, etc.), membranes (gas separations, polymer chemistry, mesostructure, etc.) and network integrity (nanoscale steel corrosion, electrochemistry, [electron] microscopy / microanalysis, etc.).

Human Resources is now accepting candidates for the 2017 ASC Summer Student Program.
Criteria for Consideration ·         Must have been enrolled in U.S. undergraduate college during the 2016-17 school year. ·         Must be enrolled full time as an undergraduate student in a U.S. college for fall 2017. ·         Must not have participated in two previous Summer Student Programs (i.e., students may participate a maximum of two times). ·         Must apply by the deadline, Monday, February 27. How to Apply Email the following to Addie Braziel by the deadline:  ·         Application (attached)* ·         Resume ·         Cover letter  Applicants will hear from HR by the last week in March.		Application Deadline: Monday, February 27 Student Benefits Participating in the Summer Student Program provides opportunities for students to: ·         Help with administrative tasks critical to business functions. ·         Work closely with other professionals, making new friends and long-term contacts. ·         Observe the everyday activities of a global company’s corporate environment.

summer 2017 - Siemens Foundation

Last summer, in partnership with the global healthcare nonprofit PATH, the Siemens Foundation launched the Siemens Foundation PATH Fellowships.  The program engages undergraduate and graduate STEM students in innovative, practical, and low-cost research and laboratory experiences.  The program accelerates solutions to real world issues for those most in need and connects emerging scientists to career opportunities in global health (Fellowship Descriptions). I’m pleased to announce that the Siemens Foundation is again underwriting this important program.  Importantly, the Fellowships provide generous compensation and living stipends.

 

With your leadership in STEM in mind,  I’m asking for your support in identifying and encouraging students you consider good candidates for a Siemens Foundation PATH Fellowship.   Our partners at PATH share our commitment to offering this opportunity to a diverse cohort of students.  By sharing information about this unique opportunity with students who meet the fellowship application criteria, you will further their careers and advance efforts to overcome global health challenges.

 

With thanks and best regards,

 

David
