OnTo develops technologies for recycling and reclamation of lithium-ion battery materials for electric vehicle and other applications.

 

The Company is accepting applications for an ONAMI Graduate Student Internship position in industrial research and development.  A successful applicant will have interest and experience in  (1) experimental physical sciences, (2) chemical process engineering (3) mechanical engineering and/or (4) automation engineering.

 

A successful chemistry intern will handle air sensitive compounds, build batteries, deconstruct batteries, characterize materials, program battery testing protocols, develop chemical processes.  A successful engineering intern will program machinery, perform separations and chemical processes on battery materials. The internship anticipates prioritization of chemistry; however, The Company anticipates hiring in all of these areas.

 

MS students studying chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics engineering, automation engineering, physics or materials science are encouraged to apply.  OnTo is located in Bend, Oregon, which is where the intern will be working.  The position is anticipated to start mid-September (17) 2018 or mid-October (9) 2018, and be completed in June 2019 (assuming 9 months).   The intern will be mentored by Dr. Steve Sloop, President of OnTo Technology LLC.

As the chairperson of an ACS approved program, I hope that you’ll be excited to hear some of the new initiatives that are coming out of the ACS Office of Professional Training (OPT) and the Committee on Professional Training (CPT):

1. We now have a new logo for ACS approved programs.  This logo can be used on your websites to advertise to students that your chemistry program is approved by the ACS.  Students can also use this image on their posters (or slides) when presenting at local, national, or international meetings.   I’ve attached a full color version in two formats, but we can also provide others if requested (black and white, other formats etc.)
2. We are currently interested in recruiting faculty members to act as visiting associates for CPT.  Visiting associates perform short (1.2 day) site visits to institutions that are seeking approval.  We typically send out teams of 2 and the site visits occur about 3 times/academic year.  We’re asking you, as chairs of approved programs to forward this message to your faculty members.  If they are interested in participating, or knowing more about the responsibilities of acting as a visiting associate, please have them complete this form: https://fs12.formsite.com/acs_cpt/VisitingAssociate/index.html

 

We’ll also be moving forward with more interactive webinars and tutorials as well as reaching out to the community for thoughts regarding the upcoming revision of ACS Guidelines for Approved Programs.  If you have any questions or comments for us, please feel free to contact me.

I am writing with a friendly reminder that registration for the 2018 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium closes tomorrow, Tuesday, August 21^st at 11:59pm! We appreciate your help forwarding this email to students you think may be interested.

 

This symposium, hosted by the OSU Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and the Arts, provides undergraduates with an excellent opportunity to showcase their research or creative activity. OSU undergraduates in all years of study, all academic disciplines, and all stages of research or creative work are eligible to present. Students will be able to choose whether they would like to present a poster and/or a 3-minute lightning talk. We also invite students with artistic/creative projects and distance students to reach out so we can do our best to accommodate other presentation types.

 

The event will be held on the morning and afternoon of Thursday, September 13^th (exact time and location to follow). Details and the registration link are available at: https://apli.oregonstate.edu/research/presentation-opportunities/summer-undergraduate-research-symposium

Thank you

The First week of September a contractor, Reed’s Painting, will be in refinishing the wood on the Monroe Street Entrance and the Gilbert/Weniger parking lot Entrance.

 

 

 

 

 

Details:

I am interested in hearing from students and professionals in a STEM field (whether they have started their own business or not), current new-business owners, or people who would you like to be, and anyone who has experience in starting their own business.   I’m trying to reach as many people as possible, male or female, young or no longer young, etc.

It should only take 10 minutes to complete.  There is no cost for participating, and upon completing the survey respondents are eligible for a $100 Amazon gift card.

All personal information will be stripped from the final dataset.  Participants will not be contacted by NewOak Consulting unless they specifically agree (opt in) to participate in future surveys or focus groups. Participation in this survey is voluntary, and respondents have the right to withdraw from participation at any time without penalty.

Please contact the investigator through NewOak Consulting  with any questions regarding this survey.
