Do you have faculty at Oregon State​ who might be interested in submitting a short proposal to these opportunities?

I wanted to highlight several packaging opportunities in particular, with funding ranging up to $100,000 (with potential follow-on). Those have received the fewest proposals so far.

My best,

All active partnering opportunities on Halo (Deadline 11/30):

My colleagues Tanya Myers and Alla Zelenyuk here at PNNL wanted to reach out to you all to see whether you might be aware of any recent or soon-to-be PhD grads who would be eligible for this posting to work with us here at PNNL doing some pretty cool science on an upcoming IARPA project.  

https://careers.pnnl.gov/jobs/5561?lang=en-us

The posting closes on Nov 9:  We are looking for someone with background in mass spec and/or IR spectroscopy to study aerosols using state-of-the-art instrumentation in both mass spec and IR spectroscopy, as well as working with many top-notch scientists in the field.  The position will likely result in several publications.  However, the position requires US Citizenship, which is a firm requirement.    

Please share this job ad with folks you know who might be eligible, or if you’re aware of any useful job ad where we should post this, that’d be helpful as well.   

Thanks so much!

A recording of the Sept. 28, 2022, webinar to educate stakeholders on the Green Chemistry Challenge Awards’ nomination process is now available. This webinar, hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), reviewed the history of the awards, eligibility requirements, and what is needed to submit a nomination. The webinar also reviewed the six award categories including a category to recognize technology that reduces or eliminates greenhouse gas emissions, in support of the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to combat the climate crisis.  

EPA is currently accepting nominations for the 2023 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards from companies or institutions that have developed a new green chemistry process or product that helps protect human health and the environment. Nominations are due to the agency by Dec. 9, 2022. 

An independent panel of technical experts convened by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute will formally judge the nominations and make recommendations to EPA for the 2023 winners. EPA anticipates giving awards to outstanding green chemistry technologies in six categories in the Fall of 2023.

A good course proposal needs to be clear, strategic, and aligned with the academic policies. OSU uses Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) software as an online platform for curricular proposal submission and review. This course demonstrates how to navigate CIM to successfully submit a course proposal and explains the curriculum review workflow in a nutshell. Part of the Fall 2022 FYI Friday series; Friday, Nov. 4, noon to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom. Registration closes at noon on Thursday.

  • College Park, MD
  • 40hrs/week
  • Potential Start: 1/4/23,  1yr appointment, with possible 1yr renewal
  • Open to recent/upcoming MS/PhD chemistry graduates (US citizen or US residency 36 of last 60 months)

The participant will receive training in and will focus on; the mass spectrometry of food contaminants, polymers, and packaging, in particular ambient ionization, non-targeted analysis, suspect screening, database development, materials categorization, and methods validation. Activities will include sample preparation, mass spectrometric method development and analysis, database creation/curation, open-source software adaption and/or workflow development, method comparison, method validation, and ion identification.  Experience performing analytical chemistry research and/or mass spectrometry research is required.  Experience in planning and executing statistically complex scientific studies, and/or utilizing ambient ionization, and/or high-resolution mass spectrometry is preferred.  Experience with KNIME, R, and/or Xcalibur/TraceFinder is a positive. The ability to effectively communicate both verbally and in writing is essential.
