OPEN POSITIONS
Undergraduate research opportunities in alternative fuel technology
The Alliance for Collaborative Research in Alternative Fuel Technology-ALL-CRAFT,
led by the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) and funded by the National
Science Foundation, invites you to apply for a research internship for Summer
2005, June 6 - July 29 (8 weeks), and/or for the academic year 2005/06, in
one of the labs associated with ALL-CRAFT. ALL-CRAFT is developing storage
technologies for natural gas, based on a porous carbon made from Missouri
waste corncob and synthetic materials, for fuel tanks in clean automobiles,
collection of natural gas from landfills, and large-scale shipping of natural
gas from Alaska. Two summer internships are offered at MU in the Departments
of Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering (fabrication of storage materials),
and Civil & Environmental Engineering (natural gas from landfills); one
at Renewable Alternatives LLC, Columbia (bioenergy); and two at the Midwest
Research Institute, Kansas City (design and testing of prototype tank for
cars). Five academic-year internships are offered in the listed departments
at MU.
