      <title>Naval Research Lab Postdoctoral Fellowship Program</title>
      <link>http://www.asee.org/nrl</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The NRL Postdoctoral Fellowship Program provides approximately forty (40) new postdoctoral appointments per year. Fellows are competitively selected on the basis of their overall qualifications and technical proposals addressing specific areas defined by the host Navy laboratories. The selected participants will work in a unique Navy laboratory environment, while interacting with senior laboratory scientists and engineers.</p>

<p><b><u>Eligibility</u></b></p>

<p><b>Citizenship:</b> Opportunities at NRL are open to citizens of the United States and to legal permanent residents.
<br />
<b>Security Clearance:</b> It is anticipated that the basic research undertaken by the participants will usually be unclassified, in which case the participants will only need to be processed for a Facility Access Determination (FAD) if their sponsor verifies their need to work outside normal duty hours. For some laboratories, a DoD security clearance at "Secret" level may be required to gain access to research facilities, in which case participation in the program is contingent upon the participants obtaining the proper clearance. Security clearance and access requirements vary from laboratory to laboratory. Please check with the laboratory program coordinator.
<br />
<b>Education and Experience</b>: Before appointment, participants must present evidence of having received the Ph.D., Sc.D., or other earned research doctoral degree recognized in U.S. academic circles as equivalent to the Ph.D. within seven years of the date of application, or must present acceptable evidence of having completed all formal academic requirements for one of these degrees.
<br />
<b>Prior Fellowship</b>s: A person who has received a prior postdoctoral fellowship at a navy laboratory under any program may not be eligible to participate in the NRL Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the same laboratory.
<br />
<b>Equal Opportunity:</b> In accordance with Federal statutes and regulations and Navy policies, no person on the grounds of race, color, age, sex, national origin or disability shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under, any program or activity receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Navy.</p>


<p><b>Deadline: Applications are accepted and processed on an on-going basis.  To apply to the fellowship program, visit <a href="http://www.asee.org/fellowships/nrl/apply.cfm">http://www.asee.org/fellowships/nrl/apply.cfm</a></b></p>]]></description>

<br />
<LI>Fellows holding a B.S. only will receive a stipend of $21,000 until coursework for 45 credits (AFIT, WSU) or 30 credits (UD) has been completed. Then the stipend will rise to $28,000 for the remainder of the students' three-year fellowship.
<br />Fellows holding a M.S. at the start of their fellowship program will receive a stipend of $28,000.
<br />
<LI>Applicants should have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.5.
<br />
<LI>DAGSI Fellows must be eligible for employment at a federal institution. Therefore, DAGSI Research Fellowships are open only to individuals who, at the time of application, are citizens or nationals of the United States.

      <title>Childcare scholarship available for CECS Students</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Undergraduate students facing childcare expenses are invited to apply for the SCARF Scholarship.  </p>

<p>The deadline is September 03, 2008, so please do not delay.  Awards of $50 per week per child may be made to five students.</p>

<h2><b>Society for Childcare Assistance/Relief (SCARF) Scholarship Information</b></h2><h4><u>Purpose</u></h4>Childcare issues present challenges to undergraduate students in every discipline but are particularly taxing for students who are enrolled in the rigorous science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degree programs. However, as studies have concluded that the United States is losing its technological edge, these are the students who need timely graduations. The Society for Childcare Assistance/Relief (SCARF) scholarship program, endowed by John O. and Janet E. Miller, aims at helping address childcare costs for undergraduate STEM students who have dependent children living with them. Wright State University (WSU), Dayton, Ohio is the pilot site for this program starting the school year of 2008-2009.
<br />
<h4><u>Support Provided</u></h4>The 2008-2009 program will provide scholarship awards for WSU undergraduate STEM students of $50/week each for childcare costs during actual 2008-2009 school term weeks. Five scholarships will be awarded at all times so if one recipient graduates, another recipient may be awarded. Payment will be made directly to the student at the beginning of each quarter for the quarter. Continuation of the award between terms will be determined on a case-by-case basis considering: the length of break between actual class sessions; childcare arrangements, and opportunities for the student to mentor or internship in their field during breaks. Feedback from awardees will be required as input to future scholarship program design. The scholarship is
<br />renewable, subject to availability.
<br />
<h4><u>Eligibility</u></h4>Applicants must fit the following criteria:
<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<p>A new Ph.D. position is under development. The objective of the project is to research the spinal implants particularly used in the cervical areas. Biomechanical models will be needed to understand the laboratory behavior of the spine with the implant, their failures under different load conditions simulating the aggressive environment as is the case in active duty conditions. High strain rate tests data will be needed to know the impact forces and failure of the devices. Other conditions may be under vibratory conditions. This project may also lead to the development of new devices, instrumentation, and other materials research that will be involved.</p>

<p>Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, cell and tissue work, biocompatibility, biomaterials, will be needed and hands on work with the device development testing and analysis will be required.</p>

<p>The yearly stipend is likely to be $18,000 and tuition will be covered as well. Leadership quality, ability to work with different people (physicians, engineers, medical students, residents, and fellows) and places and personal interests to develop and validate new hypotheses separating elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity and developing interactive damage summation models will be required as applicable for cervical spine. Experience of computer programming and mechanical testing will be needed for this project.</p>

<p>Those interested for consideration for this position please contact Dr. Tarun Goswami at <a href="mailto:tarun.goswami@wright.edu">tarun.goswami@wright.edu</a>
