Subject: Chesapeake Energy Field Geologist Development Program

Good Morning Robert and Gerard,
I was scanning through University of Washington’s Earth and Space Science website and wanted to pass along some information about job openings we have. At Chesapeake Energy, we are currently forecasting to hire somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-300 Field Geologists this year. This is going to be a fantastic program for entry-level geologists and the program would greatly cater to students who have just recently graduated with a degree in Geology / Geoscience. I’ve attached an information sheet about our program and what it has to offer. If you have any students that are about to graduate or are recent graduates that may be interested in the program, please feel free to pass along the information packet to them, also if you have any large scale job fairs coming up for your department, please let me know and we might be able to make a trip out to discuss the program with your students. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the program. Any students that may be interested in the program can email their resumes to me and I’ll be glad to take a look at them. Thanks so much for your help and have a great day!

Thank you,
Lane Harmon

We are looking for upper-division undergraduate students or recent graduates for 5-6 month research assistantships in biomedical sciences during the summer and/or fall 2012 with possible extension to spring 2013 at the Institute of Scientific Investigations and High Technology Services (INDICASAT-AIP), the University of Panama (UP), or at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama City, Panama.

Project Description

Students will be involved in various aspects of ongoing biomedical research projects at INDICASAT-AIP (http://www.indicasat.org.pa/) or as part of the International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) based at INDICASAT-AIP, UP and STRI (http://www.chemistry.ucsc.edu/~rogerl/ICBG/index.html). Daily activities will vary depending on laboratory but may include cell and microbial culture, biological assays for drug discovery, field collection of marine and/or terrestrial organisms, chemical extraction and fractionation, and/or compound identification using spectroscopic techniques.

Funding

Funding for these assistantships comes from the Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training (MHIRT) program funded through the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD). The MHIRT program is designed to increase the numbers of students belonging to health disparities populations or underrepresented minorities that pursue advanced degrees in basic sciences, biomedical or clinical research fields. Travel, food, lodging, and research expenses are completely covered and a small personal stipend is provided.

Program Eligibility:

• Students must belong to an ethnic minority including, but not limited to, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, or be from medically underserved populations (i.e., socio-economically disadvantaged individuals in rural and urban areas).
• Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.
• Students should be juniors, seniors, or recent graduates with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
• Students should have completed at least one year of biology and/or chemistry with laboratory, with extracurricular laboratory experience preferred.
• Students must demonstrate interest in pursuing graduate research.
• Students must spend a minimum of 5 months in Panama working on the project (project extension may be possible depending on funding and interest).

To Apply:

Send the following materials to Dr. Kevin Tidgewell at ktidgewell:

1. Curriculum Vitae including name, permanent and current addresses, phone, e-mail, GPA, and complete educational and employment history (social security number and date of birth will be required upon acceptance to the program).
2. A 2-3 page essay including information on your background (e.g., family history, ethnicity, previous laboratory research, education, travel experience, etc.) and your career goals (including how you think a MHIRT assistantship will help you attain these goals).
3. Two letters of recommendation, including from someone who has directly supervised you in a laboratory setting (e.g., graduate student, technician, postdoctoral researcher, or professor). Letters of recommendation should be e-mailed directly to Dr. Tidgewell.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Candidate review will begin March 30, 2012 and continue until positions are filled.
