Building a World of Difference.^®

Clean Water Science Network (CWSN) is currently seeking graduate students and alumni that are interested in becoming mentors for the CWSN mentoring program. Clean Water Science Network is a 501c3 started by UT Austin Environmental Engineering graduate students/alum (www.cleanwaterscience.org). This is the fifth year of our mentoring program, which started with 6 mentees in the first cohort and grew to 120 in the 2022-2023 cohort.

As a mentor, you will be paired with motivated and driven undergraduate students from Latin America interested in water-related graduate education. Your commitment would be 4-5 hrs per month and includes virtually meeting with your mentee and attending a structured set of monthly webinars and discussion groups (the 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7 pm CT, but recorded as well for those with occasional conflicts). This is a great opportunity to build your leadership and communication skills, strengthen your resume,  become more culturally aware, and network with other mentors from around the US. Last year we had participants in the program from many different academic and professional institutions, providing awesome networking opportunities!

If you are interested, please fill out this form by midnight on September 29th, 2023: https://forms.gle/FWVdijwNTvAz8gN17.

We will let you know by October 4th if you have been accepted into the program. If so, the first webinar is October 10th. If you have any questions, please email us at mentorship@cleanwaterscience.org. Feel free to share this email with anyone that might be interested. 

Please note, CWSN’s web platform is via Google so a Google based email account is encouraged for participation in the program (for access to content on the CWSN webpage).

Thanks for considering,

Dear Students,

 

I hope your spring term is off to a good start. I’m writing because I have funding available to support a graduate student who is interested in pursuing an MS/PhD in Engineering Education.

Between my colleagues in the Experiential Engineering Education department and I, we have funding for five graduate students to start in Fall 2023/Spring 2024. The project that I have funding for involves implementing and evaluating an intervention to support low-income engineering students via a living-learning community and a leadership development program. More information is available at the NSF site: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2221511&HistoricalAwards=false

 

Details regarding the Experiential Engineering Education graduate program are available here: https://engineering.rowan.edu/programs/exeed/graduate/ . Our department and program are relatively new and have been intentionally created to provide a supportive and enriching community for students and faculty.   

 

If you do know of anyone who might be interested, if you could send them my way, I would be very appreciative.

 

Thanks so much!

Kaitlin

Dr. Zhiwu (Drew) Wang’s lab in Virginia Tech is recruiting three Ph.D. students to begin in Fall 2023 for the three projects described below.  Detailed information about application submission can be seen at https://aeesp.org/jobs/3015

1.Characterization of variability in MSW streams to identify critical material attributes for fuel production

A PhD or a MS student will be supported by this DOE project to understand the characteristics critical to turning low-cost, abundant municipal solid waste (MSW) into conversion-ready feedstocks for producing biofuels through gasification and solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) as targeted thermal and biological conversion technologies. Since this is a joint project among seven organizations, the candidate working on this DOE project will have the opportunity to learn collaborative skills between universities, national labs, and industrial partners. Candidates with experience in solid waste management are especially encouraged.

2.Pilot-scale bioplastic product fermentation and manufacturing from food wastes

A PhD will be supported by this USDA-funded project to convert a variety of food wastes to Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) which will be furthered processed into commercial grade bioplastic products such as flexible wrapping films or hard plastic containers that can not only be readily biodegradable in engineered systems but also in natural environments such as backyard composting or in the ocean. Candidates with experience in up-scaled biological processing and real-world research are especially welcomed.

3.Partial denitrification anammox technology for mainstream wastewater nitrogen removal

A Ph.D. or a M.S. student will be supported by this industrial project. The study will be performed in the Northern Virginia campus with the goal to achieve low energy and low carbon biological nitrogen removal from real municipal wastewater through a smart automatic controlling system. The success of this biotechnology would promote anammox technology into the full-scale application in mainstream wastewater treatment processes.
