Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. FoundationBiomedical Science Grants
The Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation supports early-stage biomedical investigators engaged in basic and translational research that has the potential to make fundamental advances in biomedical science.

The funds are designed to provide to tenure track faculty members in their first to fourth year, at American Institutions, who hold M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees, start-up support to move the project forward to the point where R01 or other independent funding can be obtained. Applicants with current R01 funding should not apply.

Beginning in 2023, the grant provides $75,000 annually for a period of up to three years. Grants are not renewable. Institutions may submit one proposal per session. The Foundation will not fund overhead.

LIMITED SUBMISSION.  Please follow the directions here to complete an Oregon State University Notice of Intent if interested in applying.

JOB DESCRIPTION
https://willamette.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/willametteuniversityjobs/details/Visiting-Assistant-Professor—Chemistry_R0005141
Teach one section of General Chemistry lecture and two sections of General Chemistry lab (the equivalent of two courses per semester).
Salary: $9,320 – $10,350 depending on terminal degree completion.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • A terminal degree in Chemistry (e.g. PhD) is preferred. ABD with teaching experience will be considered.
  • Must be able to reside in or primarily work in Oregon by the first day of employment.
  • This is an in-person teaching position.
    Willamette is a small, highly selective private university of 2,600 students, 1,300 of them enrolled in our undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences; other schools include the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, the College of Law, and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, which enrolls both undergraduate and graduate students. We are located in Salem, Oregon, the state capital, which lies 45 miles south of Portland. The successful candidate will be joining an ACS-approved Chemistry Department (https://willamette.edu/undergraduate/chem/index.html) whose seven faculty members are committed to high quality, collaborative teaching, and scholarship.
    Willamette University believes that a diverse, inclusive community is essential to achieving academic excellence; accordingly, we seek candidates who not only have the potential to become outstanding teachers and scholars, but whose work also furthers equity and inclusion, and who will bring to campus varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds. The College of Arts and Science is proud to enroll a substantial number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students of color. Over the past two years, 24% of our students were first-generation; 24% were Pell-eligible; and 33% identified as African American, Hispanic/LatinX, Native American/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or multiracial.
    Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled.
    All University positions require that candidates submit to a criminal conviction record check prior to hire. Conviction does not automatically preclude candidates from being hired. Nature of conviction will be considered relative to the duties of the position.

    materials in the “My Experience” section labeled Resume:
  • Letter of application describing your interest and qualifications for the position;
  • Curriculum vitae;
  • A statement of teaching philosophy, including descriptions of pedagogical goals and
    effective teaching strategies to promote student learning;
  • A brief statement (500 words or less) describing ways you can contribute to the university’s
    mission of promoting an equitable, diverse, and inclusive campus;
  • Unofficial copy of graduate transcripts.
    If you have any questions about the position, please contact Dr. Chuck Williamson, Professor of
    Chemistry, by e-mail (jcwillia@willamette.edu).

Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

Halo.Science is hosting two webinars for upcoming sponsored research opportunities. These helpful webinars provide high-level technical information for researcher applicants, including robust Q&As with the reviewers. Please share this with researchers in your units who may be interested in the following topics.

Kraft HeinzNatural sweetener ingredient technology for low pH

Kraft Heinz is seeking natural sweetener ingredient technology to achieve a stable solution of 5-10 % stevia (or equivalent sweetness) for low pH systems (pH 2.0).

Disciplines: Chemistry, Food Science & Nutrition, Materials Science

Acceptable TRLs: 4-9

Funding is proposal-dependent starting with proof-of-concept, typically ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 for a 6-month length project with the potential for expansion based on results and opportunities.

Amcor LimitedVinyl chloride- and styrene-free sealable coating for food packaging

Amcor is looking for a food law-compliant (direct contact) heat seal coating that may be applied onto one surface of aluminum foil. The coating’s primary performance criteria require maintenance of adhesion to aluminum and seal integrity while immersed in boiling water. An ideal coating will be solvent borne with a viscosity suitable for application via a continuous roll-to-roll process like coil coating.

Disciplines: Chemistry, Food Science & Nutrition, Materials Science

Acceptable TRLs: 2-9

Funding is proposal dependent, with $25,000 – $100,000 available for projects that last up to one year. There is potential for supplemental funding for projects that extend beyond one year.

Grads Give Back is OSU’s Gown Share Program. This year, we have been able to supply gowns to over 30 grads from undergrad to Ph.D. Please consider donating your gown at the MU year-round in person or by mail; at the Valley Library quad entrance June 17-18; or outside of Reser Stadium after commencement.
