Why EM-MSIPP? 

The mission of the Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (EM MSIPP) is to create and support a sustainable career pathway that prepares a diverse workforce of talented students to make immediate and significant contributions to the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM). To achieve this mission, MSIPP develops strategic partnerships between Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and DOE-EM, investing in student enrichment programs, curriculum development, research efforts, and internship opportunities. EM MSIPP develops programs that align with DOE-EM missions to enhance research opportunities at underrepresented colleges and Universities in efforts to diversity the STEM workforce. 

Job Description 

An EM MSIPP Grad Fellow will receive training in targeted technical areas outlined in various DOE-EM scope job responsibilities. The 13-month salaried fellowship will offer specialized training, leadership and professional development. Completion of this fellowship will provide hands-on and field experiences that may lead to potential career opportunities within the DOE workforce complex. 

Responsibilities 

  • Develop and characterize high-quality metal and metal-nitride thin films using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). 
  • Investigate the relationships between film properties, including electrical resistivity, temperature, and magnetic fields using techniques including electron and X-ray diffraction, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, and electrical and magnetic measurements. 
  • Analyze and document experimental data and present their findings internally and externally in the form of internal reports, conference presentations, and peer reviewed publication.
