2018 Summer ORISE Fellowship Opportunity at CDC

https://www.zintellect.com/Posting/details/3727

A summer fellowship opportunity is available in the Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) within the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the Chamblee Campus in Atlanta, Georgia.  DLS provides laboratory support that improves the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of environmental, tobacco-related, nutritional, newborn, selected chronic and selected infectious diseases. DLS also works to improve the rapid and accurate detection of chemical threat agents, radiologic threat agents, and selected toxins.  Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, the selected participant will use state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to address topics relevant to public health.  This will allow the participant to gain hands-on experience in applied analytical chemistry and enhance their knowledge of its applications to public health.  The application deadline is Friday, January 19, 2018 at 3:00 PM EST.  If you have questions, send an email to [CDCrpp@orau.org]CDCrpp@orau.org.  Please include reference code CDC-NCEH-2018-0013 in your email.

Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship Program--Summer 2018

Applications are now being accepted for the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) Program for summer 2018!

The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program provides undergraduate students an opportunity to gain research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as paid interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission. Students participate in career professional development workshops (e.g. technical and scientific writing skills development, poster, or oral presentation activities, etc.), laboratory tours, scientific lectures and seminars.

Internship appointments are 10 weeks in duration for the Summer Term (May through August). Each DOE laboratory/facility offers different research opportunities.

Eligibility:

-Full-time student status at the time of application

-U.S. Citizen or permanent resident

-Have completed one year as a matriculated student at the time of application

-Minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0

Summer 2017 - Defense Forensic Science Center located in Forest Park, GA

I hope all is well. I am reaching out to you to see if you have any outstanding undergraduate students that would like to compete for a Research Associate position at the Defense Forensic Science Center located in Forest Park, GA this summer. See below for a listing of the opportunities that we have available this summer. If you have any students that are interested, please have them send a resume and an unofficial copy of their transcript for consideration.

Thanks,

Project descriptions

Body fluid identification - DFSC is working with a university and a company to validate protocols for determining body fluid identity using mRNA and high resolution melt. The RA will collect mRNA, make cDNA, and perform high resolution melt experiments.

NOCIt validation - A software system to determine the number of contributors in a DNA mixture has been developed for DFSC. The RA will assess the software system and compare it's results to results obtained from a DNA casework examiner.

Extract concentration - DFSC receives large pieces of evidence that require multiple reaction tubes to complete the DNA extraction. The RA will increase incubation volume for extraction and then concentrate to the volume required for traditional EZ1 large volume extraction.

Shoe outsole comparison - A major way shoes are manufactured is by a calendaring and cutting process.  A certain class characteristic from a random area selected on the calendared material in itself is not very discriminatory, but when two of these calendared materials are cut and placed over one another, the orientations of these repetitive characteristics may be substantially more discriminatory. The RA will make impressions and compare outsole characteristics between samples.

Testing of latent print superglue process - The RA will test, compare, and evaluate available commercial off the shelf one-step superglue processes and compare the quality to the traditional two-step process
