>Battelle Memorial Institute has immediate openings for qualified technical
>people at its Dugway Proving Ground office. Battelle serves industry and
>government through the development of new technologies, products and
>solutions. We develop the technology behind the products of some of the
>world's most successful companies. Battelle has a staff of 7,000 scientists,
>engineers, and support specialists at more than 60 locations worldwide. Each
>year, thousands of technology projects are in progress at Battelle's various
>business operations. These projects are performed for nearly 1,400 companies
>and government clients. Battelle's business volume is nearly $1 billion
>annually. Typically, this work results in between 50 and 100 patented
>inventions each year. Currently, Battelle operates several national
>laboratories for the government, including PNNL, NREL, Oak Ridge National
>Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
>We currently anticipate 10-15 immediate hires in the Chemical Laboratory at
>BS/BA, MS, and PhD levels, with ongoing hiring needs in 2000. I have
>attached a copy of the ad which will be running in C&E News. Due to the
>sensitive nature of the work performed at Dugway, these positions will
>require U.S. Citizenship, in addition to the ability to obtain and maintain a
>security clearance.

>In general, we are looking for the following:
>
>BA/BS Chemists (several): Experience/demonstrated abilities operating
>analytical instrumentation, especially GC/GC-MS. Desire experience
>supervising and/or training others. We seek a "Hands on" type of person with
>a "can-do" attitude. Must be a strong problem solver in analytical
>chemistry and have the ability to communicate technical issues.
>
>MS/PhD Chemists: We seek to fill the following positions:
> 1) Virtual Proving Ground (VPG) Scientist:Experimental. This position will
>involve working with another new PhD level hire to direct current VPG
>funding toward modeling efforts which with result in useful deliverables to
>the Dugway Proving Ground Chemistry Lab. This position will have
>exceptional opportunities for the self-starter with the right combination of
>marketing, technical, and interpersonal skills. Technical skills desired
>include a background in analytical and/or physical chemistry, with a strong
>background in detection (surface, optical, and/or typical chromatographic
>methods (FID, FPD, etc)), monitoring (especially gaseous), instrument design
>(including electronics, data acquisition, signal processing), and strong
>mathematical skills.

>programming, a strong background in all areas of chemistry and general
>mathematics (transformations, linear algebra, etc).
>
> 3 and 4) Research Scientist. This position involves performing basic and
>applied research involving chemicals with significance to National Defense.
>Current research involves the fate of these materials at interfaces, and is
>externally funded. The successful candidates will be encouraged to develop
>further research projects by collaborating internally or externally
> (collaborations with Battelle Columbus, Pacific Northwest National
>Laboratory, and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
>(INEEL) are established within the Dugway Proving Ground Chemistry Lab) and
>submitting research proposals to outside funding agencies (DoD, DOE, etc).
>Desired technical skills include a background in analytical and/or physical
>chemistry, surface science, mass spectroscopy, chemical kinetics,
>experimental design, instrument design, technical writing, proposal writing,
>and project management.
>
> 5 and 6) Senior Scientist. This position will involve support of the Dugway
>Proving Ground mission to provide testing to the government for
>Chemical/Biological materials of significance to National Defense. Technical
>skills required include a background in physical and/or analytical
>chemistry, strong chromatography skills (especially GC), experience in
>methods development, supervision/education, mathematics/statistics and
>experimental design. The successful candidate will be required to possess
>exceptional problem solving skills, communication skills, and instrumental
>expertise.
